While the humanoid robots that Elon Musk plans to produce arouse curiosity and admiration in terms of technology, there are also concerns that these devices may pose some risks to privacy and security.

Elon Musk, CEO of electric vehicle giant Tesla, announced in August that they have developed a humanoid robot called "Tesla" and that they plan to have the prototype ready next year. Musk stated that they will use the same technology in semi-autonomous electric cars in the production of the robot.
Stating that he believes robots will gradually take over people's physical jobs in the future, Musk also said that the user can ask him to do certain jobs by talking to the Tesla robot.
CAN INVOLVE SOME HAZARDS❓
Andrew Maynard of Arizona State University argued that Musk's humanoid robot could pose some dangers.
Recalling Tesla's autonomous driving technology, which resulted in loss of life, Maynard suggested that robots will also work with this technology and that there are similar risks for a device that is expected to be developed in such a short time.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( #NHTSA) published a statement in June, announcing that 30 official investigations were launched into Tesla autopilot accidents, in which 10 people lost their lives since 2016.
Maynard also claimed that the #Tesla #robot could pose a danger to one's #autonomy and #privacy. The researcher stated that the robot collects sensitive information about its user, and argued that problems may arise with the storage and sharing of this information.
Stating that there is a risk of users changing the features of the robot without any permission from Musk's company, Maynard suggested that the Tesla robot may also threaten the job security of people in some sectors in economic terms.
Maynard argued that the engineers who designed these robots should undergo training on these problems and be made aware of them.
