Elon Musk predicts there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots within 10 years “At least a billion humanoid robots within 10 years, probably less than 10 years I think that continues to grow If you assume that things roughly double per year, then that's about every three or four years you have a 10x increase Say in 15 years, there are 10 billion robots, and 20 years, 100 billion” “If you think of like Star Wars, where we had C-3PO and R2-D2, they were friendly, helpful robots Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have their own personal C-3PO or R2-D2? Even better than that.....more productive.....that could take care of elderly parents, guard and watch over children, be a teacher like an individualized tutor for your child, and take care of any job that you can think of” “I think everyone would like to have a future where they can have their own personal robots And then I think you'll see many companies where it's one person with hundreds, maybe thousands of robots.... physical robots as well as digital robots The productivity of one person will be greatly amplified” “And my prediction is that there will be effectively universal high income In fact, it's not clear to me that money will even matter in the future”
