Eight years ago, Elon Musk said:
“Mark my words: AI is far more dangerous than nukes.”
Elon didn’t give in to the AI doomers. In fact, his position is very different from theirs. He has warned about the risks of AI for years while still pushing for its development, with a strong focus on safety. His view is that companies should build powerful AI, but do it safely and responsibly, even if that means slowing the pace when necessary
“I think the danger of AI is much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads by a lot and nobody would suggest that we allow anyone to just build Nuclear warheads if they want that? That would be insane. And Far.”
