Musk compares artificial intelligence to a double-edged sword that can be used for both peace and violence.
Ilon Musk, the owner of SpaceX, Tesla and social network X, considers artificial intelligence a potential threat to the existence of humanity. He said at the International Summit on the Safe Use of Artificial Intelligence in the UK.
"We have for the first time the situation where we have something that is going to be far smarter than the smartest human. We're not stronger or faster than other creatures but we are more intelligent and here we are for the first time, really in human history, with something that is going to be far more intelligent than us. It's not clear to me if we can control such a thing but I think we can aspire to guide it in a direction that's beneficial to humanity," Musk noted.
Calling artificial intelligence one of the biggest threats to humanity, Musk compared the rapidly evolving technology to a double-edged sword that can be used for both peaceful and violent purposes.
