Elon Musk has made yet another alarming prediction about artificial intelligence. Despite his concerns, the tech mogul remains hopeful that humanity will ultimately benefit from AI.

Grim Prediction

Musk stated that he believes there is a 10-20% chance that AI could bring about an “apocalypse” that wipes out humanity. This is not the first time that Musk has voiced worries about AI potentially getting out of control. He has repeatedly warned that AI poses an existential threat if not developed safely.

Cautious Optimism

However, Musk also said that he is still “optimistic” about the future of AI. While recognizing the risks, he believes AI will provide net benefits to society if guided properly. Musk continues to be actively involved in researching and developing AI through companies like Neuralink.

The Need for Regulation

Musk has called for AI to be regulated to ensure it is aligned with human values. Though regulation poses challenges, Musk believes it is necessary to minimize risks as AI capabilities advance. With responsible development, Musk hopes AI will take humanity into an exciting new era.
