Andrew Kang, CEO of Robo strategy, believes the recent advancements in AI, particularly with large language models like ChatGPT, are the key enablers for the widespread adoption of humanoid robots. He predicts that within three to seven years, these robots will be capable of performing human tasks, leading to significant economic shifts.
“And I think it just made sense that, okay, these things can probably actually start working now. Um, though it's a pipe dream. But, you know, the reason why we didn't have it work was because intelligence was always the gating factor. And I think it's, you know, it's gotten a little bit more clear that intelligence development of it was really going to accelerate. And that you could potentially solve general intelligence for robotics in a really reasonable amount of time, you know, not 50 years, not 100 years, but something more like three to five to seven years.”
“But when ChatGPT came out, I think it was apparent that the slope of technological process was changing quite dramatically. And things would be getting better much, much faster.”
