Conclusion: The Last Laugh Remains to Be Seen
While current demonstrations of robotics often evoke humor or skepticism, history suggests that rapid progress is imminent. The next decade or so will be critical in determining how societies adapt to these powerful new tools. Whether humans will secure a leading role in this new world or become spectators to a rapidly automating economy remains to be seen.
In the end, the true impact of robots and AI will depend not just on technological breakthroughs but on our collective choices and policies. The last laugh—whether at the expense or the advantage of humanity—is still waiting to be written.
