There’s growing concern that AI robots will take over everything from education to the arts to laundry… well, most people wouldn’t mind if laundry disappeared from the chore list. Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Brian Sozzi spoke with Sizzle AI founder and CEO Jerome Pesenti at Opening Bid about the future of robots. He said the technology is still fairly limited, saying it’s “at least a decade away.”

In the early 80’s I had a little puppy.
It barked and walked around, I mean, it was battery powered.
To be honest, it’s still not much better.
So the situation is not that good and these things only work half as well, I mean, when we talk about “humans being replaced by robots”, you just look at the state of robots today.
I mean, they work well in the factories, right?
They have a small set of behaviors and when they don’t do them – when they don’t wash our clothes, don’t empty the dishwasher, don’t fold things.
I’m trying my best.
still.
Not yet, but from where we are now it will be at least 10 years.
right?
So, is the Tesla Bot a sign of the future? Sometimes you just have to call it like it is, right?
I mean, have you seen this?
Did you see, I knew this was going to be a fun chat with you guys.
I mean, as long as I was there, in the heyday of the IFL, people were always tired of me, I mean, what do you think the limit is?
So?
For now, such things, in their current form, are left on the factory floor.
Yes, that’s because the real world is incredibly complex and unpredictable.
Yes. And when you look at it, it’s pretty amazing.
So, we might finally get there.
Well, obviously, I’ve never actually been in a car.
The story continues
And that’s where this breakthrough began.
But people will tell you that you know the 1%. You think you know 99, 990, 100% of the situation, when in reality you only know 100% and 99%.
The last 1% may be more work than the first 99%.
That’s the problem.
right.
I’m going to try to do something at home.
Don’t you realize that humans are incredibly intelligent?
They try to deal with many situations.
That’s what we thought.
Ah, this is a very simple job.
But the truth is, all humans are very clever at this.
To be able to navigate the world, walk, trip over things, and understand it all without hurting yourself.
You know, this is very complicated and it’s a long way away from having a robot do it.
