The owner of Grok AI, Elon Musk, has recently made a bold prediction about the future of work. Speaking at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, he said that in the next 10 to 20 years, employment could become optional for most of the people. According to Musk, rapid advancement in the AI and robots could change the society so much that regular jobs become unnecessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I do not know exactly what long-term means, perhaps 10 to 20 years," Musk said. “My prediction is that work will be optional”. He compared future work to hobbies like sports or video games, something people might choose to do just because they enjoy it. He added that people could still work, buy things from stores, or even grow their own food if they want but growing food would be harder. Musk has also shared an AI generated video on his X handle.&nbsp;<h2>Have a look at the video below</h2>
