Welcome back to another episode of Ground Zero Classics! This week, we’re diving into the world of robotics and artificial intelligence with a discussion on Boston Dynamics’ new humanoid robot, Atlas. As Clyde Lewis explains in this podcast description, Atlas is a fully electric robot that moves like no other and represents a path to commercialization for a new generation of robots. With demand for humanoids in factories expected to erupt by the mid-2030s, there’s potential for these robots infused with AI to work in various industries or be adopted by households. However, as Clyde also discusses, this paves the way for a military-industrial complex killing machine that might become available as soon as 2025. In the context of AI, it’s important to recognize the danger of idolatry and over-dependence on these systems. Tune in tonight at 7-10pm Pacific Time to hear more about RO-MAN VS. HU-MAN on Ground Zero Classics!
