[Question] I have re­cently been in­ter­ested in robotics, par­tic­u­larly in for-profit star­tups. I think they can help in­crease food pro­duc­tion and help re­duce im­prove health­care. Would this fall un­der AI for so­cial good? How im­pact­ful will robotics be to so­ciety? How large is the coun­ter­fac­tual?
