Will we have humanoid robots cleaning our house soon? In this conversation, Sam Korus and Nicholas Grous explore the current state and future potential of humanoid robots. They discuss the implications of recent developments in AI and robotics, the distinction between tasks and jobs, and the evolving landscape of automation. The conversation highlights the importance of both hardware and software in the development of humanoid robots, as well as the potential for these technologies to transform industries and create new opportunities.

If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
