I believe the amount of robotics is going to explode is everything and everywhere. I believe Elon Musk said the value in Tesla isn’t the vehicle. It’s the sensors and cameras for self driving. Solve that and you can probably get a robot to do everything. Flip a burger, paint a house, weld a pipeline. This is going to change the workforce.Managing Director in Manufacturing2 years ago
The adoption of AI at the end user level. For example, daily information workers begin leveraging AI on a regular basis to complete and offload work items.Managing Partner in Miscellaneous2 years ago
The decoupling of the production of energy from consumption of energy. The most obvious example would be a BEV replacing an ICE vehicle. Consider also advances in grid-scale storage - not just battery but gravity (pump water uphill during periods of surplus generation, release thru turbine during periods of peak demand) and also advances in localized personal production like rooftop solar. Electricity replaces fossil fuels because there are a hundred ways to make it and increasingly store and transport it. The end of the fossil fuel era is much closer than most people think - not because of regulation but because it’s simply better tech and massively cheaper in the long run.
