With Musk talking about AI the way he is, seems to me that he wants to use his reputation and the public's naivety to instill fear and have some control over the distribution of AI that works for general purposes...sounds like a great opportunity.
If he stays consistent with what he says about AI, I think he might be successful in deterring people from using useful and reasonable AI for a while. I wish he would take the dangers of new features like Autopilot in a production car as seriously though.

What exactly did he say that would imply that? As far as I know (and I did watch all the recent interviews), his approach boils down to: - more open access to AI is less dangerous than it being developed in secret by corporations or governments; hence OpenAI - suggesting that regulators start paying attention (and explicitly advising them not to start regulating outright; just to form an agency that would "gain insight" into the field)
- ExactoKnight 9y agoI do agree with this. One of the clearest inequalities emerging in A.I.-driven machine learning is how useless those techniques are unless you have access to a monstrously large amount of well categorized data. Currently you need to be one of the big four to have that access, and this is highly monopolistic.
