Former Facebook executive Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that autonomous humanoid robots capable of completing household chores will be developed in the next few years, easing concerns about AI disrupting industries.
Autonomous humanoid robots may soon be able to complete household chores like washing dishes and taking out the trash amid concerns from blue and white-collar workers that AI will disrupt industries across the United States. On Friday, former Facebook senior executive Chamath Palihapitiya predicted that a robot capable of operating inside of American homes and completing simple errands will be developed in the next few years. "I think it's going to be in the next two or three years.
Palihapitiya also suggested that these robots will have more "narrow application ranges" and will not necessarily be humanoid in form. He noted that companies like Gecko Robotics already have a slew of autonomous products with specific industrial purposes. For example, small robots can climb on the outside of buildings or bridges to look for cracks using special scanning equipment or even clean windows.
