Elon Musk predicts AI and robotics could make work "optional" within 20 years
"In less than 20 years, working will be optional. Working at all will be optional. Like a hobby," Musk said."
"Obviously people can play this back in 20 years and say, 'Look, Elon made this ridiculous prediction and it's not true,' but I think it will turn out to be true, that in less than 20 years, maybe even as little as ten or 15 years, the advancements in AI and robotics will bring us to the point where working is optional," Musk said."
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and general-purpose robotics will cover essential tasks across the economy, removing the economic necessity of human labor within the next two decades. Work will become a personal choice rather than a requirement, with people free to pursue tasks for enjoyment, challenge, or personal satisfaction. Productivity growth from automation could allow activities like food production to be performed by machines while people keep hobbies such as home gardening purely for pleasure. The timeline may be shorter—potentially ten to 15 years—or later judged incorrect, but the pace of progress makes an optional-work future plausible.
