Musk: AI Will Surpass Total Human Intelligence Within Five Years, Should Not Press Stop Button Due to Risks
Musk stated in an interview with The Economist that even if the risk of AI and robots going out of control and causing disaster is "not zero," the "stop button" should not be pressed, because the most likely outcome is to bring unprecedented abundance to everyone. He predicts AI will surpass the sum of all human intelligence "within about five years," at which time the world will enter an "age of amazing abundance." Musk also admitted that humans are unlikely to continue controlling AI in the next decade, and that AI should be ensured to have the correct values.
