Musk claims that in the coming years we will see AI that can surpass human intelligence. "I believe we can achieve this as early as this year or next year. By 2030 or 2031, that is, in five years, AI will be smarter than all humans," he noted.
Additionally, the entrepreneur suggested that in the future, the number of robots on Earth will exceed the number of people. He added that in an optimistic scenario, AI and robots will be able to perform many tasks, making human life easier. "If there are a billion humanoid robots, I am sure that every person on Earth will have such an assistant," Musk said.
The company Tesla, led by Musk, is actively developing humanoid robots called Optimus. These robots operate based on self-learning AI and autopilot technologies. In December 2023, Tesla introduced the new generation of Optimus robots, Gen 2. According to Elon Musk, the serial prototype of Optimus is expected to be completed by February-March 2026.
