Part 7/12:
While humanoid robots captivate the imagination, Musk stresses that they are just the surface of a much larger wave—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI, which already exists in a nascent form, is evolving rapidly and is poised to disrupt not just physical labor but also intellectual work.
Musk argues that the real game-changer isn’t humanoid robots but AGI in the cloud. This form of intelligence is capable of automating and replacing the majority of human jobs, notably the more significant contributor to the global economy: intellectual labor. Unlike physical robots, which are limited to tangible tasks, AGI can accelerate productivity in knowledge-based sectors exponentially.
