6.He is terrorized by Artificial Intelligence
According to him, this is “the greatest risk that our civilization will face”. Unlike other big names in Silicon Valley, like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk is not much of a fan of the progressive power grab of artificial intelligence in our lives.
In 2015, he announced the creation of the OpenAI Center on artificial intelligence that will “benefit humanity”. This center is now a startup incubator in the field of artificial intelligence. In 2016, he founded Neuralink. The goal is to connect the brain to integrated circuits. All in the idea of merging human and artificial intelligence.
Fearing that robots could one day supplant and harm humanity, Elon Musk is trying to develop initiatives to reflect on the future of robotics. For him artificial intelligence will make jobs useless.
He said: “the last work that will probably remain will be writing artificial intelligence software. Then artificial intelligence will eventually write its own software. ». For him, machines are likely to outperform humans because technology is evolving rapidly. “Computers are already much smarter than humans in many aspects,” he says.
