Elon Musk expressed concern about artificial intelligence

In an interview last week at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 100 years of aeronautics and astronautics conference, Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla Motors, expressed a warning about The threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to humans. When asked about the topic, he said: "I think we should be very careful about AI. If it is possible to guess the vital threat to humans, I think it is AI."

Musk adds: "I am increasingly thinking that we have lacked the necessary rules and oversight, probably at the national and international levels. This is to ensure we do not do something. With AI, we have summoned a demon.You know the story of a demon with a 5-pointed star (considered a symbol of satanic devil) and holy water. It was impossible to control that demon. "

Elon Musk - Director of Tesla Motors

Elon Musk, a 43-year-old billionaire, a genius inventor, co-founded Tesla Motors with the hope of making cars smarter and faster. Musk is known for a variety of bold ideas different from the era like reshaping the space travel with SpaceX project or SolarCity Solar Company. However, this is not the first time he expressed concern about the risk of people being unable to control AI. In an interview with CNBC in June, he publicly voiced concern about the rapid progress of AI and feared that one day AI would counteract humans like in the movie Terminator.

Musk said: "I don't think anyone can see how quickly AI has improved. Especially if the machines can evolve to the extent that they can learn and perfect themselves. And then, it will add something to the detriment of humanity and ultimately a bad influence, if the machines can find the best way to identify and remove spam. Well, it will find a way to eliminate people? "
