The rise of the humanoid robot
Dexterous, bipedal robots with general intelligence are advancing faster than many expected, and they’re quickly becoming economically viable. Within five years, robots will likely be able to perform a wide range of physical tasks at a cost that rivals or beats human labor. Adoption is poised to accelerate across industries, from manufacturing to food service, healthcare, and even construction.
Four converging forces are accelerating development and pushing adoption toward an inflection point:
Robotic mobility and dexterity are reaching human levels.
Training is getting simpler and smarter.
Cost parity is within reach. Between 2022 and 2024, the unit cost of humanoid robots dropped by at least 40%, while labour costs in the EU rose by 5% from 2023 to 2024.
Generative AI is also enabling general purpose intelligence.

If you know you know, or do you?
“These days people have lots of ideas about things, such as the safety of routine vaccines, how to handle their finances, and the impact of tariffs, but they have not had classes in bioscience, personal finance, or global economics,” says Prof David Dunning, who is famous for postulating the Dunning-Kruger effect.
“Whatever the topic is, there are people who are well-informed, people who are uninformed, and people who are misinformed,” he says. “This mismatch between what you think you know and what you actually know is always relevant.”
“We’ve found that people who are not knowledgeable tend not to know how unknowledgeable they are,” Dunning explains. “This is true of people who own guns, or are chess players or medical technicians or who view the news on the Internet and decide whether it is real or fake.
“Wherever you look, you’ll find that people who lack expertise also lack the expertise to know just how much expertise they lack,” he adds. “That’s the heart of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.”
