China has published plans to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025, as Western companies including Elon Musk's Tesla race to produce their own humanoids. Goldman Sachs has predicted that the market for humanoid robots could be worth $150 billion a year worldwide within 15 years - and that humanoid robots will be viable in factories between 2025-2028 and in other jobs by 2030-2035. The technology will have a positive impact in many fields, believes Marga Hoek, author of Tech For Good, but people need to prepare for it. How will robots change the world of 2035?

EXCLUSIVE: AI imagines how America's most iconic landmarks would've looked if they were designed by different, iconic architects
What would America's top landmarks look like, reimagined by some of the most famous and controversial architects that have ever lived? An Instagram account, Imagined Architecture, created a stir with a'reimagined' White House designed by world-famous architects. With architects ranging from modernist genius Anthony Gaudi and British-Iranian'Queen of Curves' Zaha Hadid, Midjourney has reimagined everything from the Chrysler Building to the Statue of Liberty in typically surreal style. San Francisco-based Midjourney is a rival to OpenAI's Dall-E, which is now integrated into its iconic ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot. Like ChatGPT, it can be controlled by simple text prompts, and can generate everything from realistic photographs to paintings: it's controlled through the Discord chat app, and available to subscribers from $10 a month.

EXCLUSIVE Former Google futurist predicts what classrooms of the future will look like - they include virtual reality lessons and downloadable knowledge
By 2050, students will download knowledge directly into their brains from AI tutors, with no human teacher present - and receive lessons tailored to their DNA, a futurist has predicted. Virtual reality will be the main mode of learning for many subjects, and the most important subject students will learn will be how to work as a'co-bot' alongside artificial intelligence, said Tracey Follows, a futurist who has worked with clients including Google, Virgin and Telefonica. Follows, who is listed as one of the top female futurists worldwide in Forbes, said that even classrooms might be a thing of the past as students'self teach' with the help of AI'tutors'. Follows produced a white paper on the subject in collaboration with online tutoring service GoStudent, and said that while her predictions may seem out there, they are'not science fiction'. She predicts that new subjects such as interstellar studies and biotech will become popular as humanity moves towards becoming an interplanetary species.
