At the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum in November 2025, Elon Musk outlined a sweeping vision for how artificial intelligence and robotics will reshape the global economy. He argued that advances in AI and humanoid robotics could make traditional paid work “optional” within the next 10 to 20 years, as machines increasingly perform both physical and cognitive labor at scale.
Musk emphasized that the real disruption is not software alone, but physical AI — robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent machines embedded directly into manufacturing, logistics, energy, and service infrastructure. As productivity accelerates toward abundance, he suggested societies may move away from labor-centric economic models, fundamentally redefining how value, participation, and compensation function.
This vision sets the context for the Global Market Conference 2026, where investors, policymakers, and technology leaders will confront the implications of AI-driven abundance. The next phase of global competition will center on who controls the infrastructure that powers AI — energy systems, data centers, robotics manufacturing, and sovereign compute capacity. As AI and robotics compress production cycles and reshape labor markets, capital and policy will increasingly flow toward automation-first economies.
Musk’s remarks offer a clear strategic signal heading into 2026: the future belongs to nations and companies that integrate AI, robotics, and energy infrastructure into a unified economic strategy — not as speculation, but as operating reality.
