Now we live in a world where everything is changing very quickly. Relatively new ideas and fantasies are becoming reality, and more and more bold ideas are coming in their place.
The Tesla company has long been known to everyone. And every time the projects of its owner Elon Musk at first seem unreal, sometimes even absurd. But after their implementation, these things become legendary. Now the Tesla company is moving towards the production of robots. Therefore, as part of the Artificial intelligence Day, Elon presented a prototype of the Optimus robot to the society. 2 devices were presented. One can perform tasks, but is executed without any appearance, and the other is made as beautiful as possible, but cannot demonstrate anything.
It was interesting to watch the release of the first device. He went on stage, waved to the audience, danced. The producers also showed a video in which the robot waters flowers, lifts and carries boxes. The performance evokes very different emotions. You look, and it seems that progress has reached. Artificial intelligence – here it is standing in front of you and watering a flower. What’s in his head at all? He already knows how to think, make some decisions, or so far it’s just a toy on management ….
Elon Musk has always been famous for his unconventional views and ideas. As far as I know, he wants to launch mass production of robots. Millions of robots will become available to the public. Just think, millions of people can have a home robot. For me personally, it sounds both scary and amazing at the same time…. Yes, we all understand that the world does not stand still and more and more new technologies are being introduced into our lives every day, but is humanity ready for this? After all, a robot that can dance and water flowers is only the first step in this project.
Of course, the creation of a robot with real intelligence, a robot capable of independence from a person is still far from reality. But I think this is a reason to think about whether such machines are needed at all. What if we think about the world and being in which what is created by man does not obey man? Perhaps, positive thoughts from such thoughts do not come to mind.
On the other hand, whether people have been waiting for this for so long. Artificial intelligence should simplify our lives. Robotic machines are already available at almost every factory. And comparing past and present working conditions, you realize that living conditions have become much better.
Anyway, it’s too early to make any statements. Therefore, we will closely monitor the new releases of Tesla and monitor developments in the field of robotics.
