Elon Musk has already made it very clear how wary he is of artificial intelligence, but now he’s taking things a step further by donating $10 million toward research that would ensure that no AI overlords ever rise up and enslave or destroy humanity.
Elon Musk is worried that AI will destroy humanity, and so he’s decided to donate $10 million toward research into how we can keep artificial intelligence safe. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has previously expressed concern that something like what happens in The Terminator could happen in real life. He’s also said that AI is “potentially more dangerous than nukes.” The purpose of this donation is to both prevent that from happening and to ensure that AI is used for good and to benefit humanity.
