ChatGPT developer Open AI has announced that it has invested in the Norwegian startup 1X Technologies, which specialises in the development of humanoid robots. Its next project, a two-legged android named NEO, could be equipped with a form of intelligence never before seen in this kind of device.

Artificial intelligence and the development of humanoid robots are two cutting-edge sectors where the projects underway are pushing new boundaries. A point of convergence could be reached with ChatGPT developer OpenAI's investment in 1X Technologies. The start-ups latest fundraising round (US$23.5mil), led by OpenAI, should allow the production of new androids on a commercial scale.
