Elon says AI could become smarter than all of humanity combined within the next five years. @elonmusk also suggested that humans may no longer be in control of AI within the next decade. Musk believes the biggest transformation will happen when advanced AI is combined with humanoid robots. AI would provide the intelligence, while robots would perform physical tasks in factories, warehouses, hospitals, homes, and other parts of the economy. He has suggested that there could be at least 100 million humanoid robots within five years, with the possibility of that number eventually reaching one billion. If that happens, companies could produce far more goods and services with far fewer human workers. Musk describes this potential future as an age of amazing abundance, where people could have access to almost anything they want. He even predicted that money may no longer matter by 2036 because AI and robots could make production extremely inexpensive. However, this would not mean that the transition would be easy. If AI can perform most digital jobs better than people, workers in areas such as software development, customer service, administration, and research could face significant pressure. Musk has also said that work may eventually become optional, comparing employment in the future to gardening today, where people do it because they enjoy it rather than because they have to survive.
