Head Robotics | FAQ

A collection of generated questions and thoughts on the vision driving these projects

What's the vision behind these projects?

"With the right systems built, we could have near universal global employment as a result of AI. AI could help black box and encapsulate complex tasks to the point where almost anyone could do almost any job. Add robotics to the mix, and it could be done from about anywhere by about anyone."

How does human-assisted automation work?

"Total automation of everything, including edge cases, is pretty difficult, but boxing up the most common cases into helper tools is more doable. Tasks could be broken down, then guided by a human on what to do next. And if we can measure productivity directly instead of just time spent on tasks or being somewhere, there could be a whole other level of personal freedom along with employment opportunities."

How will this change employment?

"Job hopping stigma could be a thing of the past, as with enough AI assistance, training could be minimal and AI-guided. Could be the ultimate in remote employment."

What about costs and energy?

"Ideally the prices of raw materials then manufactured goods could drop dramatically enlarging markets. A lot of the world is under developed and there is a lot that could be done to raise everyone up. Cost savings might have to trickle down from the manufacturing sector after equipment and energy production have benefited from optimization."

"Energy is a big issue in all of this. But if a solution from the manufacturing sector can effect energy production, that could have an effect. And creating significantly more demand for energy could help drive solutions for better energy solutions."

Where are you focusing first?

"With robotics and AI, sectors that are labor cost heavy could benefit the most. Starting with labor optimizations through robotics and AI seems the most feasible place to start, and then work out from there."

"Once building systems and costs are more optimized then it could start to make more mega projects, such as widespread large shipping infrastructure and space projects, more feasible."
