'Poses a threat to the world': why Elon Musk is sounding the alarm over the development of artificial intelligence

Elon Musk says he's scared by how artificial intelligence has "taken over the world" and what scares him the most is Google's DeepMind AI project, reports Business Insider.

Elon Musk has been sounding the alarm about the potentially dangerous future of artificial intelligence for years.

In 2016, the billionaire said that humans could be the equivalent of "house cats" for new AI overlords. Since then, he has repeatedly called for regulation and caution when it comes to new artificial intelligence technology.

But of all the various artificial intelligence projects in development, none has been more of a concern to Musk than Google DeepMind.

“It’s the nature of the AI ​​that they create that crushes all people in all games,” Musk told The New York Times. “I mean the main storyline of War Games.”

In the 1983 American film WarGames, a teenage hacker, played by a young Matthew Broderick, connects to a government supercomputer controlled by artificial intelligence trained to run military simulations. In a game called World Nuclear War, the AI ​​convinces government officials that a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union is imminent, creating the threat of actual war.

At the end (spoiler alert), the computer runs simulations of the end results of a global nuclear war to announce that there is no possible winner, and the only way to win it is to not play. The 1983 film is a direct reflection of its time and place, when fears in the United States about nuclear war with the Soviet Union remained strong, along with concerns about increasingly advanced technology.

But Musk wasn't just talking about old movies when he compared DeepMind to War Games. He also said that AI could surpass human intelligence in the next five years, even if we don't see its impact immediately.

"It doesn't mean that in five years everything will go to hell," he said. “It just means things get unstable or weird.”

Musk was reportedly one of the earliest investors in DeepMind, which was sold to Google in 2014 for $ 500 million. In a 2017 interview, Musk said he took the move to keep an eye on the boom in AI, not a return on investment.

“It gave me a better understanding of the speed at which things were moving, and I think they're actually improving much faster than people think,” he said in a 2017 interview. — If only because in everyday life you don’t see robots walking everywhere. Maybe your Rumba (robot vacuum cleaner) or something like that. But Rumba is not going to take over the world."

Musk believes that artificial intelligence should have a different content.

“I think people in general underestimate the power of AI - they think it's like a smart person,” Musk said in August in a conversation with Alibaba CEO Jack Ma at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. “But it will be much more, much smarter than the smartest person.”

It is “pride,” he told The Times this week, that prevents “very smart people” from realizing the dangers of AI.

“My assessment of why AI is overlooked by very smart people is that very smart people don’t think a computer can be as smart as they are,” he said. “This is pride and, obviously, falsehood.”
