Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla is holding a second "AI Day" in which it will release "many cool updates." The event will be held on September 30th, after being pushed back from its original August 19th date. August 19th would've been exactly one year after the original Tesla "AI Day" in 2021.

Elon did not elaborate on what the “many cool updates” would include but he did say that the second AI Day is also about attracting new talent to Tesla.

Yes, the purpose of AI Day is to convince great AI/software/chip talent to join Tesla

Tesla is expected to release details about progress made with the Full Self-Driving Beta, which was originally released in October 2020 and more broadly expanded in October 2021.

Currently, The FSD Beta program has a fleet of over 100,000 vehicles in the US and Canada. Tesla aims to expand to about 1 million people in the beta by the end of 2022.

Tesla is also expected to release details about the development of their new self-driving chip and the Dojo supercomputer program. At the first AI Day (recap of everything shown), Tesla unveiled the Dojo chip and a working tile, but had not yet put a full cluster together to create the full supercomputer.

When asked if AI day 2 would include a sneak preview of the Tesla Bot, Musk replied "Yes".

Elon has pushed back the date of AI Day 2 to September in hope of having a working Tesla Bot, known as Optimus by then.

Originally, Elon said that Tesla would have a working prototype by the end of 2022 and start production of the humanoid robot in 2023. Tesla could revolutionize the labor economy and play a huge role in making Artificial General Intelligence a reality through the humanoid robot project.
