- A note on AGI and full job replacement - computers can think and act like humans, and AI can be 100 times better than humans at some tasks, but they have not yet transferred over to being able to do physical tasks in a significant way.
- AIX is looking into automating the physical world. Robotics company Emancro is building general purpose hospital robots, and Beagle Tech is combining wine agriculture, computer vision, and AI.
- After AI applications in the future of work, AIX’s next largest focus is healthcare, especially how to improve R&D for mechanical engineering.
