AI powered robots are slowly making their way into our world, from delivery bots on wheels to caregiver bots for the planet’s growing elderly population. But a venture capitalist is now issuing a warning: that the current surge of investment dollars toward humanoid robots has the makings of the next financial bubble. “[I]nvestors should remain disciplined and back companies that have realistic goals based on economics, not hype,” said Daiva Rakauskaitė, partner and manager at Aneli Capital, a venture capital firm based in Lithuania, in a company statement. In a nutshell, the gulf between what humanoid robots can do versus marketing hype is huge, Brooks said. But we seem to be on a runaway train when it comes to humanoid robots, because “AI gives humanoids a commercial potential that was previously not possible,” the statement from Aneli reads.
