Elon Musk has voiced both excitement and caution about artificial intelligence. While he believes that AI has the potential to transform numerous sectors and enhance people’s lives in a variety of ways, he has also warned about the hazards of unchecked AI development.
Musk has often emphasized that he regards AI as one of the most significant existential risks to mankind, warning that unrestrained AI research might lead to a future in which computers outperform humans in intelligence, posing a severe threat to our safety and security. In a 2018 interview, he equated AI research to “summoning the demon,” He advocated for creating legislation to guarantee that AI is created safely and responsibly.
At the same time, Musk has made significant investments in AI technology, notably through his work with Tesla and SpaceX. He has stated that he believes AI will be critical in the development of driverless cars and space travel, among other things.
Now, musk is building his own AI, under his new company X.AI which he created last month. This is surprising as he was against this a few months ago, and he already has many other companies to focus on at the same time.
