Musk try to label AI as the significant threat to humanity, and has advocated for its regulated development.
"The least scary future I can think of is one where we have at least democratized AI…[also] when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.."
"If AI has a goal and humanity just happens to be in the way, it will destroy humanity as a matter of course without even thinking about it…It’s just like, if we’re building a road and an anthill just happens to be in the way, we don’t hate ants, we’re just building a road."
“China, Russia, soon all countries w[ith] strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3.”
"If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk(y) than North Korea."
“Mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nukes…why do we have no regulatory oversight?”
“AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation than be reactive.”
“I am not normally an advocate of regulation and oversight…I think one should generally err on the side of minimizing those things…but this is a case where you have a very serious danger to the public.”
“Robots will be able to do everything better than us…I am not sure exactly what to do about this. This is really the scariest problem to me.”
“AI will be the best or worst thing ever for humanity.”
"“[Governments] don’t need to follow normal laws. They will obtain AI developed by companies at gunpoint, if necessary.”
