Sina Technology News Beijing time on April 6 evening news, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently in a documentary about artificial intelligence, said that humans may unknowingly created an 'immortal dictator' , and will never be able to get out of their domination.
Musk made the above remarks in the latest documentary Do You Trust This Computer?. He said that the period of dictatorship of artificial intelligence will be far beyond any one of the regimes. Achieve indefinite oppression of humanity.
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, many well-known technologists have issued early warnings about the future impact of artificial intelligence on society. This is also the latest statement made by Musk about artificial intelligence threats in recent months.
In September last year, Musk warned people that artificial intelligence may trigger the third world war. He said: 'All countries will focus on the development of computer science, and countries’ competition for the dominance of artificial intelligence may trigger the third world war.' Musk believes that the war in the era of artificial intelligence was not initiated by the leader of a country. All this will be automated. In other words, artificial intelligence will automatically plan strategies to find out the tactics with the highest probability of winning.
At the end of last year, Musk added that artificial intelligence is the greatest threat to human civilization. Musk stated that the most immediate threat in the short term is that artificial intelligence will replace human work. In the next 20 years, the work of drivers will be subverted by artificial intelligence. After that, 12% to 15% of the world's labor force will be unemployed due to artificial intelligence.
Musk also believes that mankind will need to combine with machines in the future to become a 'semi-robot' to avoid being eliminated in the era of artificial intelligence. For this reason, Musk also set up an artificial intelligence startup Neuralink to study human-machine interfaces. .
It was also based on concerns about artificial intelligence that Musk had a plan for 'colonial Mars'. According to the plan, Spacecraft's space exploration technology company SpaceX plans to make at least two cargo ships land on Mars by 2022. 2024 Achieve the landing of two cargo spacecraft and two manned spaceships.
Musk said that in the face of the 'dark age' that may result from artificial intelligence in the future, colonization of Mars will be a necessary step to ensure the survival of mankind.
