Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has stated that while artificial intelligence has the potential to destroy humanity, he believes it is still necessary to invest in it.
According to a report by Webtekno, Musk made comments regarding artificial intelligence at an event he attended. Assessing the probability of artificial intelligence destroying humanity at 20 percent, Musk argued that, despite this, the positive outcomes of artificial intelligence would outweigh the negative ones.
Musk does not ignore the risks of artificial intelligence either. He expressed that he acknowledges humanity could face a great danger if artificial intelligence were to spiral out of control.
However, despite this risk, Musk believes that investing in artificial intelligence is necessary. According to Musk, the potential benefits of artificial intelligence are far greater than its risks.
