"We believe that learning algorithms can eventually be made reliable enough to create a general-purpose robot," said in the blog post. It was signed by Musk as well as Sam Altman, the president of venture firm Y Combinator, and two staff members at Open AI. Musk is the CEO of both Tesla Motors (TSLA) and SpaceX.
They hope to build a robot that can asked to perform a task by simply speaking to it. They also aim to have the robot ask for clarification if it doesn't understand the request.
