During a speech in the comedian, Joe Rogan, a well -known businessman and founder of SpaceX, Ilon Musk, expressed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI). He warns that environmental activists, by programming AI, can pose a threat to humanity, trying to "save" the planet.
Musk expressed his concerns before the artificial intelligence safety summit, which takes place in the UK. According to him, some people can use AI technology for radical environmental goals, even to the detriment of human life.
"If you begin to think that people are bad, then the natural conclusion from this - people should be extinct ... If the AI is programmed by supporters of environmental movements, its useful function will be the extinction of humanity ...", - Musk emphasized.
He also called for global artificial intelligence cooperation and the share of responsibility of all countries, regardless of their size or power. Musk emphasized the importance of ensuring the availability of AI technologies for the public and representing the votes of developing countries in this field.
Experts believe that the mask caveat may be excessive, but the threats associated with the use of AI remain an important topic for discussion. The main dangers in this field are misinformation and spread of propaganda created by artificial intelligence.
Researchers around the world are working on methods of combating misinformation and providing confidence in the information created using AI. For example, virtual assistants are being developed that can quickly provide information on the truth of information.
