However, Cuban remains sceptical about Musk\u2019s vision of humanoid robots dominating the future. Speaking on the Prof G Markets podcast, Cuban highlighted that while robotics will be crucial for productivity, the future lies in function-first, task-oriented robots rather than human-like machines. He envisions robots capable of performing practical chores efficiently, such as cleaning, sorting laundry, or dusting, without necessarily looking like humans. Musk, on the other hand, predicts humanoid robots could one day be as ubiquitous as smartphones, potentially transforming the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk\u2019s vision: Humanoids as everyday helpers<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk sees humanoid robots, such as Tesla\u2019s Optimus, becoming as common as smartphones. He envisions these machines creating an economy \u201cten times the size of the current global economy\u201d and bringing about \u201cuniversal high income.\u201d Musk even joked at a Saudi forum that one Optimus robot performed the \u201cTrump dance,\u201d highlighting the cultural and technological novelty he anticipates.Cuban emphasised that video-trained AI robotics are a key advantage Musk has in the field. \u201cWith robotics, they&#8217;ve got to capture video. That&#8217;s where Elon is smart and ahead of the curve,\u201d Cuban said. But he doubts humanoid robots will be the main game-changer, arguing that practical design and function will matter more than human-like appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Function-first design: robots that actually work<\/p>\n<p>Cuban envisions robots designed to complete tasks autonomously, like cleaning homes or sorting laundry. These machines could resemble spiders or other efficient shapes rather than humans. \u201cIt\u2019s going to know what socks go together, how long to wash, and even check under the bed for dust,\u201d he explained. The focus is on efficiency and usability, not mimicry.<\/p>\n<p>AI will transform businesses and education<\/p>\n<p>Despite differences on humanoid adoption, both Cuban and Musk agree on AI\u2019s transformative power. Cuban highlighted his own company, Cost Plus Drugs, where AI-powered robotics manufactures medicines faster and cheaper than in India or China. He also stressed AI\u2019s potential to help small businesses improve efficiency and provide young people with unprecedented learning opportunities. \u201cThere&#8217;s nothing a child can&#8217;t learn right now,\u201d Cuban said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has praised Elon Musk for being \u201csmart and ahead of the curve,\u201d particularly in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,21941,18,13779,1647,21742,19,17,21942,11257,82,1298,64687],"class_list":{"0":"post-102540","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-cost-plus-drugs","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-elon","14":"tag-elon-musk","15":"tag-humanoid-robots","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-mark-cuban","19":"tag-musk","20":"tag-technology","21":"tag-tesla","22":"tag-video-trained-robotics"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
