Elon Musk recently warned that if not regulated or controlled soon, AI will become an \u00ab\u00a0immortal dictator\u00a0\u00bb and there will be no escape for humans.<\/b>
\nTesla and SpaceX Founder Elon Musk’s skepticism about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on human beings is \u00ab\u00a0exactly wrong,\u00a0\u00bb former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has said.
Musk thinks that AI is bad for humanity and may spark World War III.
\u00ab\u00a0I think Elon is exactly wrong\u00a0\u00bb about AI, Schmidt said during the \u00ab\u00a0VivaTech\u00a0\u00bb conference in Paris on Friday.
\u00ab\u00a0Musk is concerned about the possible misuse of this technology and I am too but I am more convinced by the overwhelming benefit of AI,\u00a0\u00bb tech website CNET quoted Schmidt as saying.
\u00ab\u00a0AI will make people smarter and this will be a net gain,\u00a0\u00bb said Schmidt who is currently a board member of Alphabet, Google’s parent company.
Earlier, during the same event, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg – who has been in verbal spat with Musk over AI for long – expressed optimism about the possibilities of AI.
\u00ab\u00a0I think that AI is going to unlock a huge amount of positive things, whether that’s helping to identify and cure diseases, to help cars drive more safely, to help keep our communities safe,\u00a0\u00bb he was quoted as saying.
Musk recently warned that if not regulated or controlled soon, AI will become an \u00ab\u00a0immortal dictator\u00a0\u00bb and there will be no escape for humans.
\u00ab\u00a0At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI there would be no death. It would live forever, and then you’d have an immortal dictator, from which we could never escape,\u00a0\u00bb he said in a new documentary titled \u00ab\u00a0Do You Trust This Computer?\u00a0\u00bb
Musk has always been a critic of AI and asked for stiff regulations to curb the technology.
In a recent tweet, Musk said that people should be more concerned with AI than the risk posed by North Korea.
\u00ab\u00a0If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea,\u00a0\u00bb Musk tweeted.
Musk has also quit the board of OpenAI, a non-profit AI research company he co-founded that aims to promote and develop friendly AI that benefits the humanity.
In a recent public spat with Zuckerberg, Musk said: \u00ab\u00a0I’ve talked to Mark about this (AI). His understanding of the subject is limited\u00a0\u00bb.
Zuckerberg replied: \u00ab\u00a0I think people who are naysayers and try to drum up these doomsday scenarios — I just, I don’t understand it. It’s really negative and in some ways I actually think it is pretty irresponsible.\u00a0\u00bb
