• 1:22
  Thank you so much. Elon, my dear friend, we're
• 1:26
  honored to have President Trump. We're honored under the
• 1:31
  sponsorship and guidance of His Royal Highness to celebrate AUS
• 1:36
  Saudi and a Saudi US relationship that is 92 years
• 1:41
  old about how we move from an oil based economy to an
• 1:45
  innovation based economy powered by wonderful technologies that
• 1:50
  definitely you're one of The Pioneers in this industry.
• 1:53
  We just showed to His Royal Highness some of your optimist
• 1:57
  robots and to President Trump. Let's talk about that.
• 2:01
  Tell me about them. Yes.
• 2:03
  So we just showed the several of our Tesla optimist robots to His
• 2:08
  Highness and President Trump, and I think they were very
• 2:11
  impressed. In fact, one of our robots did
• 2:14
  the Trump dance, which I thought was pretty cool.
• 2:17
  YMCA, Yeah. Yeah, to YMCA.
• 2:21
  So yeah, robots can dance. They can walk around, they can
• 2:25
  interact. I think we're we're headed to a
• 2:30
  radically different world. I think AI think a good world,
• 2:34
  an interesting world. My prediction actually for
• 2:38
  humanoid robots is that ultimately there will be 10s of
• 2:44
  billions. I, I think everyone will want to
• 2:48
  have their personal robot. You can think of it like as
• 2:53
  though you had your own personal C3PO or R2D2 or but even better
• 2:58
  then who wouldn't want to have their own personal C3PO, R2-D2.
• 3:02
  That would be pretty great. And I, I also think it, it
• 3:08
  unlocks an immense amount of economic potential because when
• 3:14
  you're, you think about what is the output of an economy, it is
• 3:17
  productivity per capita at times population or capita.
• 3:22
  The once you have humanoid robots, the actual economic
• 3:27
  output potential is tremendous. It's, it's really unlimited.
• 3:32
  Potentially we could have an economy 10 times the size of the
• 3:37
  current global economy where no one wants for anything.
• 3:44
  You know, sometimes in AI they talk about universal basic
• 3:47
  income. I think it's actually going to
• 3:49
  be universal high income where anyone can have any goods or
• 3:56
  services that they want. You know, a science fiction book
• 4:01
  recommendation that I have, which I think is probably the
• 4:05
  best envisioning of an AI future is the the The Culture books by
• 4:11
  Ian Banks. Very highly recommended for a
• 4:17
  non dystopian view of the future.
• 4:21
  No, there there obviously are some risks, you know, which
• 4:24
  illustrate perhaps the if we don't do this right, you know,
• 4:28
  you can have like a James Cameron sort of movie, you know,
• 4:31
  Terminator. We don't want that one, but but
• 4:37
  having sort of a Star Trek future would be great where
• 4:40
  we're out there exploring the stars, discovering the nature of
• 4:45
  the universe and and a level of prosperity and hopefully
• 4:52
  happiness that we can't quite imagine yet.
• 4:56
  So I'm, I'm very excited about the future and very glad to be
• 5:00
  here. Thank you for having me.
• 5:01
  It's our absolute pleasure. And His Royal Highness was
• 5:04
  talking to you about his vision and his dream, increased
• 5:07
  productivity for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and power up the
• 5:10
  region and the whole world with robotics, but also on robotaxis.
• 5:15
  So how are we doing on robotaxis?
• 5:18
  Yeah. So really, you can think of a
• 5:20
  car or future cars as being robots on four wheels.
• 5:25
  And you know, I think you'll be very exciting to have autonomous
• 5:29
  vehicles here in the Kingdom indeed, if you're amenable.
• 5:33
  You heard the deer from Elon. He's bringing his robo taxi to
• 5:36
  the Kingdom. Yeah, he has another
• 5:39
  announcement. That he yes, exactly so.
• 5:43
  And I'd, I'd also like to to thank you for approving Starlink
• 5:47
  for maritime and aviation use. Maritime and aviation.
• 5:51
  There you go. There you go.
• 5:55
  So yeah, so you're going. To bring us robots to help us
• 5:59
  increase our productivity, Robo taxis to make sure that our cars
• 6:04
  and assets turn to turn into a cash generating unit, and
• 6:08
  Starlink. Starlink to reform our aviation
• 6:12
  and maritime. Yeah, talk about XAI.
• 6:15
  Absolutely, and but I should want to mention also something
• 6:18
  that may be worth considering is tunnels the boring.
• 6:22
  Company. I have this company called the
• 6:24
  Boring Company, which sounds kind of boring, but it's it's it
• 6:29
  literally bores tunnels and actually tunnels.
• 6:34
  In order to solve traffic, you really need to go 3D with roads.
• 6:39
  And by using tunnels, you can essentially create, create like
• 6:43
  like a wormhole, like a, like a wolf tunnel from one part of a
• 6:48
  city to another and alleviate traffic.
• 6:50
  And we've actually already done this proof of concept in Vegas.
• 6:54
  So they're working tunnels in in Las Vegas that you can use where
• 6:58
  that'll just, it feels like teleporting for one part of
• 7:01
  Vegas to another. So I always say that, you know,
• 7:05
  my joke is like, tunnels are underappreciated, you know, you
• 7:09
  know, it's a bit of a not always a hit, but so, yeah.
• 7:19
  And then XAI is just trying to solve general purpose artificial
• 7:26
  intelligence. The goal with XAI is to have a
• 7:29
  maximally truth seeking AI. And it's, it's important to be
• 7:34
  maximally truth seeking AI in order to understand the
• 7:37
  universe. So the, the goal of XAI is
• 7:41
  understand the universe, to understand, you know, you know
• 7:46
  what, what is out there? Where's the universe going?
• 7:51
  Where'd it come from? What questions?
• 7:54
  In fact, I think maybe the biggest thing is what questions
• 7:59
  do we not know to ask? Like I once you know the
• 8:04
  question, the answer is usually the easy part.
• 8:08
  So the goal of XAI is to help understand the universe.
• 8:12
  And yeah, that's that's the goal.
• 8:18
  And and help people answer any questions along the way, of
• 8:21
  course. But I mean, that's, that's my
• 8:26
  philosophy. My philosophy is of 1 of
• 8:29
  curiosity, just trying to understand the nature of
• 8:32
  reality. So I know you had the long day,
• 8:35
  but we also have the Honourable President and His Royal Highness
• 8:39
  Moussaidi hitting the stage soon.
• 8:42
  So this is a historic day, a partnership about how we could
• 8:46
  join hands together as we have joined hands in the past 92
• 8:49
  years on building a factor based economy to help the world and
• 8:54
  power up 20% of the energy mix, which is very critical today to
• 8:58
  the AI intelligence age, the digital age and how we have
• 9:01
  reformed and with the intelligence age.
• 9:04
  And we could not be more appreciative of having a
• 9:06
  lifetime partner and a friend like you, Elon, to the Kingdom,
• 9:09
  joining hands on XAI, Starlink and robotics and Tesla.
• 9:14
  Thank you so much. On behalf of the whole, thank
• 9:16
  you. And we look forward to
• 9:18
  continuing the partnership. Thank you.
• 9:19
