The company hasnât really put a date for their actual deployment in its own factories.
Elon Muskâs electric car to solar-making company, Tesla, also has one more product in the pipeline aimed at wooing customers, The Tesla Bot. Musk announced the bipedal robot in 2021, and recently the company has provided an update on its progress through a 65-second video.
Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk sits down with CNBCâs David Faber for an exclusive interview from Austin, Texas, during Teslaâs annual shareholder meeting. Musk talks about advice he would give his children on going into the workforce as A.I. continues to boom.
This article gives a clear and chilling assessment of the impact of the Ukraine conflict on the future of collaborative space exploration; in doing so it highlights how humankindâs habitual tendency towards wars severally slow, if not completely halt, our urgent reach for the stars. As that old warrior Churchill once saidâ âJaw, jaw is always better than War, war!â
Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions homeless and displaced and billions of dollars of damage in infrastructure. The conflict has also had less immediate but significant impacts on other areas, including on the space industries of Ukraine and Russia, but also globally in terms of the launch market, spaceflight activity and international cooperation.
In the wake of the start of the conflict on Feb. 24, 2022, and resulting international backlash against Russia, the then-head of the Russian space agency Dmitry Rogozin threatened to end its cooperation with the West on the International Space Station (ISS) program over sanctions imposed on Russia. He also issued a threat to SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk for the companyâs role in providing connectivity through its Starlink satellites.
Kathy Lueders, the most recent top human spaceflight official at NASA, has joined Elon Muskâs SpaceX after retiring from the agency a couple of weeks ago, CNBC has learned.
Luedersâ role will be general manager, and she will work out of the companyâs âStarbaseâ facility in Texas, reporting directly to SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell, people familiar with the matter told CNBC.
Itâs a key hire for SpaceX as the company aims to make its massive Starship rocket safe to fly people in the coming years. Lueders, a respected expert in the sector, is already familiar with the companyâs human spaceflight work to date.
In a bombastic interview with none other than Tucker freakinâ Carlson, Elon Musk made a bold claim about Google co-founder Larry Page that, we have to admit, isnât entirely implausible.
During the newly-released Fox News interview, Musk alleged that back when he and the Google co-founder and CEO âused to be close friendsâ and heâd stay at the techsterâs Palo Alto house, theyâd get into lengthy discussions about âAI safetyâ â and that what Page told him led to his own cofounding of OpenAI.
In characteristic confused-puppy fashion, Carlson asked Musk what Page had said about AI.
Almost 30,000 people have signed a petition calling for an âimmediate pauseâ to the development of more powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The interesting thing is that these arenât Luddites with an inherent dislike of technology. Names on the petition include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and Turing Prize winner Yoshua Bengio.
Others speaking out about the dangers include Geoffrey Hinton, widely credited as âthe godfather of AI.â In a recent interview with the BBC to mark his retirement from Google at the age of 75, he warned that âwe need to worryâ about the speed at which AI is becoming smarter.

On Tuesday, Elon Musk said in an interview with Fox Newsâ Tucker Carlson that he wants to develop his own chatbot called TruthGPT, which will be âa maximum truth-seeking AIâ â whatever that means.
The Twitter owner said that he wants to create a third option to OpenAI and Google with an aim to âcreate more good than harm.â
âIâm going to start something which you call TruthGPT or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe. And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe,â Musk said during the Fox & Friends show.
The ride as Twitter CEO has been a rollercoaster.
More than six months after he agreed to buy out Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk, the worldâs second-richest person, has now confirmed what many thought was the reason for the purchase â the judge would have made him do it otherwise. Musk confirmed this during a last-minute interview with the BBC.

Additionally, with the boom of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced language learning models, Astroâs capabilities will only continue to improve in being able to solve increasingly challenging queries and requests. Amazon is investing billions of dollars into its SageMaker platform as a means to âBuild, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models for any use case with fully managed infrastructure, tools, and workflows.â Furthermore, the companyâs Bedrock platform enables the âdevelopment of generative AI applications using [foundational models] through an API, without managing infrastructure.â Undoubtedly, Amazon has the resources and technical prowess to truly make significant strides in generative AI and machine learning, and will increasingly do so in the coming years.
However, it is important to note that Astro is not the only gladiator in the arena. AI enthusiast and Tesla founder Elon Musk announced last year that Tesla is actively working on developing a humanoid robot named âOptimus.â The goal behind the project will be to âCreate a general purpose, bi-pedal, autonomous humanoid robot capable of performing unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks. Achieving that end goal requires building the software stacks that enable balance, navigation, perception and interaction with the physical world.â Musk has also ensured that the bot will be powered by Teslaâs advanced AI technology, meaning that it will be an intelligent and self-teaching bot that can respond to second-order queries and commands. Again, with enough time and testing, this technology can be leveraged in a positive way for healthcare-at-home needs and many more potential uses.
This is certainly an exciting and unprecedented time across multiple industries, including artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and healthcare. The coming years will assuredly push the bounds of this technology and its applications. This advancement will undoubtedly bring with it certain challenges; however, if done correctly, it may also empower the means to benefit millions of people globally.
