💨 Abstract
Elon Musk, at his first Davos appearance, predicted that his humanoid robots, Optimus, will be available for public purchase by the end of next year. He envisions these robots performing tasks like childcare and eldercare. Musk also forecasted that AI models smarter than humans will emerge by the end of this year or next. Despite criticism, he maintained an optimistic stance on AI and robotics, concluding that it's better to be an optimistic pessimist.
