Musk: AI is a double-edged sword with the potential to control human beings.

On the evening of May 24, Beijing time, it is reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) warned again about the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) at a CEO summit in London on Tuesday, saying that the technology has the potential to control human beings.

Musk says artificial intelligence has the potential to control humans. It is highly unlikely to destroy mankind, but it is not absolutely impossible. Musk also said that artificial intelligence may also take control of "all human security" and effectively become some kind of "super nanny".

"Advanced artificial intelligence has the risk of eliminating or limiting human development," he said. Super intelligence is a double-edged sword. If you have an elf, it can give you anything, that is a danger. "

Although Mr Musk's companies are also developing artificial intelligence, he has been cautious about this powerful technology. In March, he also signed an open letter calling for a moratorium on the development of advanced artificial intelligence.

Musk also said on Tuesday that it does not use much artificial intelligence in daily life, but Tesla uses a very large amount of artificial intelligence. In addition, he suggested that there should be a third competitor for Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI and Google's relationship with DeepMind.

"I think there should be a third company to compete," Musk said. "the cooperation between OpenAI and Microsoft seems to be quite good, so X.AI (Musk's new artificial intelligence company) and Twitter and Tesla should have similar cooperation in the future."
