Today, humanity is entering a completely new stage in the development of robotics. The androids appearing in the square today are only a visible part of this huge process. Worldwide robotics competitions, scientific laboratories, and private companies are working on thousands of different projects in this field.
According to experts' forecasts, by 2050, the robotics industry may grow approximately 250 times compared to its current scale. This number is not accidental: never in human history have technologies, especially human-like robots, developed so rapidly. Most importantly, this pace will not slow down, but rather accelerate.
In this regard, the views of Sam Altman, one of the leading figures in the field of artificial intelligence, in his recently published essay-manifesto aroused great interest. In it, he specifically addresses the concept of "gentle singularity." Altman emphasized that at the initial stage, it will be necessary to create humanoid robots based on traditional human labor. However, after a certain point, this process takes on a completely different form.
In his opinion, after the appearance of the first millions of androids, they will be able to take control of the entire supply chain. Robots are engaged in the extraction and processing of minerals, cargo transportation, and the management of factories and plants. Interestingly, they will also take on the process of creating even more robots. Later, it could also perform extremely complex tasks such as building microchip manufacturing plants.
Thus, a self-reinforcing technological cycle arises. As a result of this cycle, the pace of development will rise to a completely new level. New inventions, advanced solutions, and "miracles" that previously seemed only fantasy are put into practice in a very short time.
In short, humanity is on the threshold of an era where robots will live side by side. This process is both alarming and hopeful. But one thing is certain: the history of technology has never been so rapidly and profoundly transformed.
