The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

And I usually do it with more than one platform because each one of them will have slightly different takeaways than what the takeaways that I had.

The Knowledge Project

And I think the variability between them can make you spot things that you didn't see or that you, you know, you were skimmed over or you thought were not important, but suddenly these two AI platforms tell you, well, this is the point you actually is, it's very important.

The Knowledge Project

And again, you get, you can get more information and more, more actionable stuff that you can do that you can do with it as well.

The Knowledge Project

It's tough to tell what the world would look like from a physical robust perspective, because the speed at which AI is developing is very, very, very fast.

The Knowledge Project

So it's tough to tell.

The Knowledge Project

If I look today at how effective robots are,

The Knowledge Project

there's still a lot of room for things to improve.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

So today, when you think about robotics, robots have predominantly evolved or effective robots that can be used in business to have a very specific application in how they work.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

So for example, part of our company,

The Knowledge Project

We used to be one of the largest warehousing operators in the world.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

And you think about robots in that space, you could have an autonomous robot that looks effectively like a square that is just kind of going on the floor of a warehouse.

And then it has a panel that can hold shelves of goods.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

And it brings the right shelf of goods to a human picker sitting stationary now, as opposed to having a human having to walk through a picking area to pick the products to ship to a customer when you buy something online, as an example.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

So a lot of the robotic applications have been very specific in scope.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

to solve a specific problem is what has been effective so far.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

If you think, however, about humanoid robots, I think humanoid robots are effectively trained to do what humans do, how we move our hands, how we perceive the world through vision, how we perceive the world through hearing.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

And that's a much tougher task to solve for because you're trying to fit

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

an AI model that typically works great in a digital setting, deals with content, and now you're trying to make it perceive the world the same way a human does.

The Knowledge Project
Mario Harik: Playing to Win

There's another component of it would be, for a humanoid robot to be effective, we as humans have emotions, have effectively things that we perceive the world with, whether it's empathy, whether it's compassion, whether it's anxiety, whether it's effectively, we have emotions that shape our behavior.
