The World Economic Forum at Davos produced its usual crop of AI predictions this week, with Elon Musk delivering the most attention-grabbing performance. As @ItyagiSajid captured, Musk predicted robots in every home, an end to poverty, reversed aging, and dismissed Terminator-style AI risk — closing with "it is better to be optimistic and be wrong than to be pessimistic and be right."
