Elon Musk predicted at the G20 Innovation Ministerial that advances in robot manufacturing and AI software will lead to the production of over 1 billion humanoid robots in 10 years. He explained a recursive effect where robots build robots, causing explosive growth. Musk estimated that each robot's productivity will likely be five times that of a human, meaning the collective output of these robots would surpass that of all humans combined.
