During his testimony in an ongoing legal battle with OpenAI, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has raised strong concerns around the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Tech billionaire said the future of AI could go in two very different directions. According to him, the world must aim for a positive path like Star Trek and avoid a dangerous outcome similar to The Terminator.
"We don’t want to have a Terminator outcome. We want to be in a Gene Roddenberry outcome, like Star Trek. Not so much a James Cameron movie like Terminator," Musk said.
Speaking during the trial, Musk warned that advanced AI systems are improving very quickly and could become a serious risk if not handled carefully. 'It could kill us all,' he said, while explaining how powerful AI might one day go beyond human control. He added that humanity should not allow AI to reach a point where it becomes harmful.
