Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock says company is building a new species of intelligence
Figure AI founder and CEO Brett Adcock stated during the Salesforce Dreamforce event that the company aims to create a new order of intelligence through humanoid robots.
Adcock discusses replacing manual labor
The executive was speaking with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff on stage at the annual Dreamforce gathering. Adcock agreed with Benioff's question about building a new species rather than just another machine. He suggested the end goal is to bring into existence a new order of intelligence.
Current robots face task failures
Adcock noted that today's most advanced humanoid robots often fail spectacularly at assigned tasks. These failures occur whether the machines are helping around the house or proving their sporting prowess. Scientists remain adamant that standards will improve over time with better embedded AI.
