Robots Are Coming — but Not Everywhere
Jensen Huang says 'ChatGPT moment for robotics' is coming. MIT research suggests he's wrong.
Why it matters
MIT Sloan research challenges the narrative of explosive humanoid robot adoption, arguing deployment will be uneven and use-case-specific—countering the prevailing expectation that robotics will follow AI's explosive growth curve.
