See the humanoid work robotic OpenAI is bringing to life with artificial intelligence

OpenAI has seen the longer term, and it includes imbuing a humanoid robotic with the silicon spark of artificial intelligence.

The developer of ChatGPT, the generative AI know-how that has set the world abuzz, mentioned it is investing in Determine, a California firm that makes robots for the office.
