Tech billionaire Elon Musk predicts that by 2040, there could be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, he emphasized that this shift could significantly alter labor dynamics and the importance of addressing the potential challenges associated with AI technology. Musk noted his establishment of XAI to ensure that the technology serves humanity"s best interests. In addition to his insights on robotics, Musk predicted that "unsupervised self-driving" capabilities could be deployed in the U.S. as early as next year, highlighting the rapid advancements in the field. He expressed concerns that many AI systems are being trained to align with political correctness, which he believes can undermine their truth-seeking capabilities. Musk illustrated this concern with an example where an AI model concluded that misgendering a reality TV star was deemed more dangerous than nuclear war. He asserted that all cars will eventually drive themselves, predicting that they will be ten times safer than human drivers. Musk expressed enthusiasm about space exploration, stating, “I believe we can launch starships to Mars within two years.” He also emphasized the role of countries in developing their own AI clusters to enhance global innovation. In closing, Musk highlighted the critical importance of birth rates in sustaining society, stating, “If we don’t produce new humans, there’s no future for humanity, and all the policies in the world won’t change that.” — SG
