Speaking on the Prof G Markets podcast, Cuban said that Musk\u2019s bold prediction on humanoid robots will start impacting the global GDP within four to five years. While Cuban praised the intelligence and vision of Elon Musk, he argued that the future of robotics depends on function-first design and now on its humanoid forms. The difference of opinion of Musk and Cuban highlight a broader debate about how artificial intelligence will reshape industries, homes, and the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban: \u201cAI will win, but not with C-3POs\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuban believes in Musk\u2019s foresight in video-trained AI, saying, \u201cWith robotics, they&#8217;ve got to capture video. That&#8217;s where Elon is smart and ahead of the curve.\u201d But he added, \u201cI don&#8217;t think that\u2019s the future,\u201d referring to Musk\u2019s belief in humanoid robots like Tesla\u2019s Optimus.On the other hand, Cuban feels that robots are task-oriented and are also not constrained by human-like shapes. \u201cIt might look like a spider or whatever they come up with,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to know what socks go together, how long to wash, and to look under the bed for dust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk\u2019s vision: Robots as common as smartphones<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Saudi economic forum in May, Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasised that humanoid robots could become as common as smartphones. Musk also joked that one of Tesla\u2019s Optimus bots performed the \u201cTrump dance\u201d in front of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Donald Trump. Musk believes these robots could eventually drive an economy \u201c10 times the size of the current global economy\u201d and usher in \u201cuniversal high income.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuban\u2019s grounded take: AI for real-world efficiency<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in the interview, Cuban also revealed that his own company, Cost Plus Drugs is using robots and AI to manufacture pharmaceuticals in Dallas more efficiently as compared to India and China. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take many people,\u201d he said. \u201cMore importantly, we can turn from one drug to the next in hours.\u201dCuban also feels that AI\u2019s biggest impact will be on small and medium-sizes businesses. He also emphasised that AI can unlock educational opportunities for young learners. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing a kid can\u2019t learn right now,\u201d Cuban said. \u201cAnd when you tell me that there\u2019s a tool that allows any child to learn anything they want\u2026 nothing makes me more excited.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Billionaire and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has challenged Tesla CEO Elon Musk\u2019s bold prediction about robots.
