Elon Musk says AI poses "one of the biggest risks" to human civilization.
Speaking at today's World Government Summit in Dubai, Musk said AI is both positive and negative and "has great, great promise, great capability," but also poses a "great danger."
- Musk also commented on OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, saying it shows "just how advanced AI has become."
- AI has been considered advanced for some time but lacked the appropriate user interface for people to access, he said.
- The CEO also believes that AI safety should be regulated, as it poses "a bigger risk to society than cars or planes or medicine."
- Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but left the board in 2018, noted that he has no open stake in the company, nor does he "control it in any way."
- Last year, he identified "artificial intelligence going wrong" as one of the biggest existential threats to humanity. The other two Musk listed were declining global birthrates and "religious extremism."
