Speaking at the G20 Innovation Ministerial, Elon Musk estimated that digital AI could increase the global economy by 20 to 30 percent, amounting to $20 trillion to $30 trillion annually. He expects AI to handle any digital task and reach "Stockfish level" in software writing by the end of 2027, making human competition impossible. For humanoid robots, Musk described usefulness as a product of software, chips, and hand dexterity, predicting they could increase the economy tenfold or more through recursive self-manufacturing.
