Elon Musk announced today that Tesla is going to hold a new \u201cAI Day\u201d during which it will release \u201cmany cool updates.\u201d The event will be held on August 19.<\/p>\n

Over the last few years, Tesla has started to hold somewhat regular annual events with specific subjects at the center of the presentation \u2013 not unlike Apple with its annual \u201cApple Worldwide Developers Conference\u201d and regular fall event.<\/p>\n

It started with the \u201cTesla Battery Day<\/a>\u201d in 2020 when the automaker unveiled its new 4680 battery cell and plans to produce its own battery cells for the first time.<\/p>\n

Last year, the company held what it called \u201cTesla AI Day<\/a>,\u201d which focused on the company\u2019s self-driving program. The automaker also unveiled its Dojo supercomputer<\/a> and \u201cTesla Bot<\/a>\u201d humanoid robot \u2013 now known as Tesla Optimus \u2013 at the event.<\/p>\n

Today, CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla will hold another \u201cAI Day\u201d on August 19:<\/p>\n

Tesla AI Day #2 on Aug 19. So many cool updates!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

That\u2019s a year to the day after the original Tesla \u201cAI Day\u201d in 2021.<\/p>\n

The CEO didn\u2019t elaborate on what those \u201cmany cool updates\u201d will be about, but like the first event, Musk said that this \u201cAI Day\u201d is also about attracting new talent to Tesla:<\/p>\n

Yes, the purpose of AI Day is to convince great AI\/software\/chip talent to join Tesla.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We can expect Tesla to release details about the progress made with the Full Self-Driving Beta, which was originally released in October 2020 and more broadly expanded in October 2021. Musk recently said that Tesla aims to have about 1 million people in the beta<\/a> by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Tesla has also been developing a new version of its self-driving chip in its in-car computer. It\u2019s possible that the new version could be unveiled at the event.<\/p>\n

Speaking of chips, an update on the Dojo supercomputer program is likely to be part of the presentation. At the event last year, Tesla unveiled the Dojo chip and a working tile, but it had yet to put a full cluster together to create the full supercomputer.<\/p>\n

Finally, Tesla is expected to give an update on its humanoid robot program. Originally, Musk said that Tesla would have a working prototype by the end of 2022, and recently, the CEO even said that the company aims to start production of the robot in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the last few months, Musk has been hyping up the program \u2013 claiming that Tesla could play a role in making Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) a reality<\/a>\u00a0through the humanoid robot project.<\/p>\n
