Musk Warns AI 'One of the Biggest Risks' To Civilization

"It's both positive or negative and has great, great promise, great capability," Musk said. But, he stressed that "with that comes great danger." ChatGPT "has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become," according to Musk. "The AI has been advanced for a while. It just didn't have a user interface that was accessible to most people." He added: "I think we need to regulate AI safety, frankly.
