On September 1, during the G20 meeting, Musk made a bold prediction: AI is set to fuel global economic expansion by 20% to 30%, translating to an annual growth of $20 trillion to $30 trillion. He anticipates that by the close of 2027, AI will be capable of independently accomplishing all digital tasks, eliminating the need for direct human involvement. In the realm of robotics, Musk forecasted that the global population of humanoid robots will surpass 1 billion within the next decade. Each of these robots is expected to boast at least five times the productivity of a human, potentially catapulting the global economic scale to more than tenfold its current size. Concurrently, he issued a cautionary note regarding the AI industry's impending power crisis, estimating that AI chips will encounter a power shortage of at least 15 gigawatts by 2027, given that the production growth rate of AI chips is projected to reach 40% to 50%.
