Artificial Intelligence is potentially more dangerous for the human species than nuclear weapons. This is according to Elon Musk, the South African-born Canadian American co-founder, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc

He made this remark during a tech conference at Austin, Texas, last week.

This is not the first time that Musk would suggest that AI will endanger humanity.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the branch of science that attempts to get machines or robots to imitate human intelligence – or make machine to do those things that traditionally done by humans.

Meanwhile, Neuralink, a company Elon Musk co-founded, is exploring how it can establish a connection between human brains and computers in order to cure diseases and improve our intelligence.

According to Musk, he is really quite close to the cutting edge in AI and it scares the hell out of him.

However, individuals like Mark Zuckerberg and Steven Pinker – a professor at Harvard – have dispelled Musk predications as “fear mongering”. They also said that his prediction are “pretty irresponsible”. In response, Musk claim that those who don’t believe his predictions are fools.

“And mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Far. So why do we have no regulatory oversight? This is insane.” Musk said.

Perhaps, some recent event seem to justify Musk predictions. For instance, the recent fatal accident by Uber’s driverless car seem to lend credence to Musk’s predictions.

Both Uber and Toyota immediately stopped testing these self-driving cars.

The real-life Iron Man - Elon Musk.

Guess Musk is speaking from an i-Robot aspect, which is inadvertently true. AI has great potentials but the fear of the unknown remains and i hope they actually quit arguing with him and set up a regulation body as he suggested.

Virus creation should be put in check too so we don't end up opening Pandora's box in an attempt to create a Star Wars-like universe.

What gives utmost joy, has the capacity to render one emotionally weak.
Ai is the next big thing, but I'm certain it'd do more harm than good.

The sole aim might be to improve human development, but at the same time, it can cause severe harm.

The robot called sofia is an indication that he says the truth

AI will definitely do more harm than good.

Employment risk for prospective employees.

Human labour would utterly be useless and underrated...

I pity our future employees.....

AI will also be beneficial to its' creators probably making them the first trillionaires....

The bad over wield the good

it is unpleasant to see a single human earning billions while millions of people would be gnashing their teeth in unemployment...
