The CEO of Micro AGI believes that while robots may automate certain jobs, new roles will emerge, such as 'babysitting' or assisting cleaning robots. Joanna Stern reported that this perspective highlights a shift in the job market, though she acknowledges significant challenges remain in robot development, including data acquisition and safety.
“We are trying to teach robots to be able to do things in the real world and we need this type of data.”
“And one of the jobs he was talking about is babysitting cleaning robots.”
“There's lots of different problems, but to be clear, there's a lot of really great advancements that are happening.”
