The CEO of one of the largest technology companies of the moment issues a warning that seems futuristic, but could impact sooner than you think. In March, more than 25,000 people filled Nvidia's GTC 2025 in San Jose, California, to hear from Jensen Huang, the man who has turned a graphics card company into the global epicenter of artificial intelligence and who now has a personal battle with the U.S.: the shortage of human workers is real, and the solution lies in robotics. 'By the end of this decade, there will be at least 50 million workers missing in the world. If we could, we would pay $50,000 to each of them, but we will probably end up paying that amount to robots to work,' Huang commented.
Although this may sound quite alarming and hasty, the truth is that it is not exaggerating at all. The new Isaac GR00T N1 model, presented at the event, is an open-source platform created to accelerate the development of humanoid robots capable of learning, adapting, and performing tasks that are increasingly similar to those done by humans.
