Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attends an in-conversation event with X CEO Elon Musk in London on November 2, 2023, following the UK Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit.
Owner of X Elon Musk on Thursday predicted the future with AI would be an “age of abundance” with a “universal high income” instead of a universal basic income but warned of “humanoid robots” that might chase humans. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO said there would come a point when “no job is needed” in the one-to-one with Sunak which was held later in London.AI was like “a magic genie” that gives you any wishes you want, Musk added, quipping however that those fairy tales rarely end well.Musk cautioned that “we should be quite concerned” about humanoid robots that “can follow you anywhere”.“A humanoid robot can basically chase you anywhere,” he said.
“It’s something we should be quite concerned about. If a robot can follow you anywhere, what if they get a software update one day, and they’re not so friendly anymore?”European Parliament members cut Musk from shortlist for top EU rights prize The two-day gathering at Bletchley wrapped up Thursday with Western governments and companies involved in so-called next-generation “frontier” AI agreeing a new safety testing regime.
