If a robot slides politely out of a doorway to let you pass, it might make you feel seen and acknowledged. If a robot marches quickly towards you and avoids you at the last second, it might cause revulsion and fear. Robots are beginning to show up in our everyday environments, from sidewalks to offices, backyards to hospitals, and they will be threatening and confusing to us if we do not carefully examine how they move.

One of these days we think that we might reach what's called the chat GPT moment for humanoid robots. That's when you can give a humanoid robot pretty much any command under the sun. They will think how to fulfill the command and then they'll do it for you. And if we do ever get to that stage, um then we are in a very very different world.

While uh the US spends 12 times more on compute this from the private sector versus the Chinese private sector uh China is spending 42% more on the robotic sector uh than the United States and apparently this gap is going to widen so this is two very different uh I would say modalities but I think that the robotic race, especially the AI component of it, uh, is a really exciting one and it's where China actually has distinct advantages, not just in the hardware, but potentially the software, too.
