"The Jetsons made it all look so idyllic: flying cars, interstellar living and, best of all, robot assistants to handle the chores while humans go about their lives.
The beloved cartoon was set in 2062 and yet, only 36 years removed from that marker, Americans are more concerned about robots and artificial intelligence taking their jobs.
A Quinnipiac University Poll released on March 30 showed that almost three quarters of both white- and blue-collar workers believe AI will reduce job opportunities for humans going forward (1). And 30% of all employed Americans worry that AI will render their jobs obsolete altogether.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, meanwhile, believes that robots — specifically, his new AI-powered Tesla Optimus humanoid robot — could, in fact, replace an entire profession: surgeons.
In an interview with engineer and XPRIZE Foundation founder Peter Diamandis on his Moonshots podcast in January (2), Musk boasted that, within three years, at scale, “there will probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth,” echoing a declaration he made last April (3). He added that, “Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.”"
