DETAILS | What happens when you mix Generative AI with Humanoid robots? Join Nate Thompson and Alex Schwartz for an eye-popping exploration of The Future of Work driven by AI-powered robotics. Regardless of how you feel about robots, this trend is inevitable, so understanding this bold new future is essential to your career and life on this planet - and it will give you goosebumps!
Our up-to-the-minute research explores Amazon's global leadership in robot and employee collaboration, the staggering investments and projected growth in the AI robotics market, and the evolution of the most sophisticated Generative AI-enabled humanoid robots, like Ameca and Tesla's Optimus. We explore how leaders must plan for a Human + Robot workplace and how all employees can protect their careers with a Future of Work Mindset. We also discuss the hard questions: Will humanoid robots become sentient, and when? Will robots take our jobs or create new jobs? How will we feel about our robot future, and as crazy as it sounds, how might we bond with robots?
LINKS | Ameca sees itself for the first time. Additional humanoid robots discussed: AMECA, ATLAS, OPTIMUS, SOPHIA, PEPPER, ASIMO, ERICA, NAO, THR3, iCUB, and MIKA.
