Although Elon Musk has no problem taking technology to levels higher than what was imaginable, as he did with his rockets and electric cars, his moral boundaries in this advancement are set by artificial intelligence (AI).

According to him, AI could pose existential risks if it becomes “anti-human”, as he stated before this historic security summit. scared before.

This statement was conveyed by a technology billionaire to a podcaster Joe Rogan hours before traveling to the UK to attend the AI ​​Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire.

He then attended the meeting, and was joined by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, other government officials, researchers and entrepreneurs for two days of talks on how the risks posed by new technologies could be reduced.

Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden opened the conference at the historic wartime codebreaking base, as experts debated the scale of the impact the risk and how to minimize it.

As expected, the entrepreneur did not miss the opportunity to add his opinion on the X platform. Quoting Rishi Sunak’s post on Twitter, Musk simply wrote: “AI security is critical to the future of civilization.”

Rishi Sunak’s message stated that “A global AI safety summit starts today in the UK. Here’s what we want to achieve: ‘Agree on the risks of AI, to inform how to manage them. Discuss how we can collaborate better internationally. See how safe AI can be used for global good.’

In a later statement, he added that he hoped the summit “will achieve international consensus on the understanding of advanced AI.” And he added that there was “a lot of concern” among people in the AI ​​field that the government would “rush things.” apply the rules before knowing what to do.

And he asserted that “Many of the greatest minds of our time regard the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as no less important.”

For this reason, he believes that world leaders must “establish a knowledge framework” to regulate AI, and calls for an “external referee.”

This allusion is made to the founder of the Voluntary Human Extinction movement, Knight Tutoringwho was interviewed by the New York Times last year, as an example of this philosophy, and stated that some people who work at technology companies have a similar mindset.

Mr Knight believes that the best thing humans can do for the planet is to stop having children. Musk noted that “You have to say, ‘How can AI be wrong?’ Well, if AI is programmed by extinction believers, then its useful function is the extinction of humanity.”
