“Teaching Robots to Steal My Job – Are We There Yet?”
For half a century, we’ve been promised (or threatened) that robots would take our jobs. Then ChatGPT arrived—and for the first time, it feels less like science fiction and more like a countdown for the transformation of medicine. In this talk, we dive into the frontiers of embodied AI—machines that don’t just think, but move, act, and decide. We’ll explore why building truly autonomous robotic agents is far harder than it looks, the breakthroughs bringing us closer, and what it would take to create a future in healthcare where a “RobotGPT” could actually exist. Because the real question isn’t if robots will replace us—it’s when.
