CNET Technology Information Network International Report August 4: Elon Musk believes that solar power generation and electric vehicles are the future of mankind, and we should start building a second human home on Mars as soon as possible. However, the billionaire, who belongs to the tech-loathletes, also claimed that he believes the future full of super-intelligent machines is very dangerous.
Musk posted a Weibo post last Sunday local time, recommending a book to study the future, adding: "We need to be extremely careful about artificial intelligence, which may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons."
"The book "Super Intelligence" () is worth reading. We need to be extremely careful about artificial intelligence, which may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. August 3, 2014 - Allen Musk (@)"
This is not the first time Musk has expressed his concerns about artificial intelligence, while other famous futurists such as Google's Ray Kutzweiler have a more positive attitude towards artificial intelligence. There is even some romantic color. As early as June this year, Musk said on CNBC that he seriously considered the possibility of the existence of "Terminator" (like the scenes in the movie actually happened), and he even invested in several companies. Artificial intelligence companies are always paying attention to the current development trend of this technology.
Of course, if you carefully read the catalogue of works by Nick Bostrom, the author of Musk's recommended books on his Weibo, you will find that his concerns may be an open question. As early as 2003, Bostrom published an article saying that the possibility of us actually living in a computer simulation world also exists, and scientists have recently begun to look for various "significant features" that are Being able to show that our world is not as real as we think it is.
Perhaps, Allen, the master behind the development of Tesla Automobile and Space X, is correct, and we should be more worried about the security of artificial intelligence, unless we ourselves are also "artificial" intelligence.
