A few months ago, Elon Musk called for a moratorium on the development of AI. The billionaire believes that this technology has the potential to wipe out all of humanity if nothing is done to control it. Obviously, his position has not changed.
Elon Musk wants tough AI regulation
Artificial intelligence is always at the heart of technological news in recent months. And, there is reason since this technology has introduced an unprecedented upheaval in the daily lives of humans. A change that worries several prominent players in the Tech sector, including Elon Musk.
“I think we should be very careful with the development of general artificial intelligence, especially very deep intelligence. Artificial general intelligence is a computer intelligence that is smarter than all humans in all areas. This is something that should concern us”Musk said at a Chinese government-sponsored AI conference.
Elon Musk’s opinion is to be put into perspective with statements he made about Artificial Intelligence. The Tech expert had notably indicated that the unbridled development of AI would jeopardize the existence of man.
In the logic of this position, the boss of Tesla wants the adoption of strict regulations on AI. The regulation of the development, but also of the use of this technology is, according to him, essential. A vital necessity for the survival of humanity, the urgency of which he recognized during this conference held on Wednesday 5 July.
The event was also an opportunity for the billionaire to address, among other things, issues around autonomous vehicles and robots. Again, the boss of Twitter calls for caution. “We have to be careful about this to make sure it’s something that benefits humanity”he said.
It must be said that the discussions concerning the use of AI are far from empty. And, concerns around its effects on jobs, among others, have yet to dissipate. However, the usefulness of this technology is undeniable. Some have already estimated that it would promote the mass adoption of cryptos thanks to its educational potential.
