19 May 2025, 10:24 am Copied Elon Musk has recently described a future where humanoid robots are a common feature of everyday life. At the US-Saudi Investment Forum in Riyadh, he forecast the widespread use of robots akin to "Star Wars" characters C-3PO and R2-D2. Musk is convinced that this revolution will raise productivity, resulting in what he refers to as "universal high income." The key to this vision is the Tesla Optimus robot, with plans to make one million units per year. AI Warning: Preventing a 'Terminator' Scenario While this spirit of optimism was welcomed, Musk also issued a stern warning about artificial intelligence. He referenced the frightening future in the “Terminator” movies as his own cautionary tale. Musk emphasized the need to develop AI in a positive way to avoid scenarios that sound like a doomsday scenario.
