While I agree with your general sentiment, particularly around oligarch corruption of body politic, I get the impression that there are many fundamental technical challenges with respect to both AI and robotics.
I don't really see current approaches to "AI" being perfected to "AGI" as outlined in their marketing/PR releases. I don't even think we are even close. There is a strong incentive to overplay current capabilities or even viability of current approaches to raise investor funds.
With respect to robotics, outside of industrial use cases (and there is a lot of cool stuff happening here that does not get much news reporting), humanoid robots are heavily limited by battery capacity and the inherent challenge of mechanical system.
I am not saying these challenges can't be overcome, but as things stand right now, it seems to be mostly PR and/or pet projects for specific oligarchs.
