Elon Musk wants to build you a robotic housekeeper

High-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has his sights set on building robots that can do housework, have conversations, and play games. In working on these different robotic abilities, Musk, the CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla Motors, said he hopes to advance the artificial intelligence algorithms that will be needed to create them. Musk is working on this project alongside Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, and Sam Altman, as part of OpenAI, an open-source A.I. research company. In a blog post Monday they wrote: "A significant fraction of our research bandwidth is being spent on fundamental research. We'll always be developing and testing new ideas... This is important--our current ideas will not be enough to achieve our long-term goal."
