Humanoids surge: Significant advances in robotics, exemplified by Tesla’s Optimus robot and humanoids from Agility Robotics, suggest that humanoid robots could begin replacing human workers in warehouses and factories this fall.
AI integration in daily life: Expect more personalized AI assistants, capable of role-playing social scenarios or managing complex interactions, becoming commonplace.
