OpenAI SEO Sam Altman has confirmed that humanoid robots are in the works. While Generative AI is already transforming workspaces and has triggered layoffs in many tech companies, Physical AI ‘could accelerate job displacement faster than ever witnessed before.’
In a conversation on The Circuit with Emily Chang, ChatGPT founder said, “I don’t think the world has really had the humanoid robots moment yet, and I don’t think that’s very far away. What happens when the humanoid robots get here? I mean, obviously do a lot of jobs.”
Altman says that he believes AI will render a few job roles as redundant, open up new roles in the industry, and bring about a massive shift in the employment industry. He said, “If you look at the history of the world, technological-driven job change—when one class of jobs goes away and another one pops up—that’s very consistent. But the thing that is different this time is just the rate with which it looks like it will happen.”
The advent of AI has brought about a massive revolution in India. The country leads in ChatGPT usage globally, with US falling behind in the second place. India now accounts for 13.5 percent of global ChatGPT users, the largest in the world. The second on the list is US with 8.9 percent user base and Indonesia accounting for 5.7 percent user base.
China users are more interested in the DeepSeek app than anywhere else in the world with 33.9 percent global monthly active users. This is followed by Russia at 9.2 percent global monthly active users.
