Space X, dedicated to launching prototypes into space. And he delved: “In the sense that it has the potential, however small the probability, but it is not trivial, it has the potential to destroy civilization. Anyone who thinks their risk is 0% is an idiot.”

The statements were made known through a fragment of an interview with the North American channel Fox News and they are in line with the request that Musk and other specialists made days ago, where they asked to stop the investigations of the AI ​​and specifically of ChatGPT 4.

“In recent months we have seen how AI labs have launched into a wild race to develop and deploy increasingly powerful digital brains that no one, not even their creators, can reliably understand, predict or control,” the experts said in a fragment of the request.

In his dialogue with Fox, Musk proposed “have some form of regulatory authorityor something like that, that oversees the development of AI and ensures that it operates in the public interest.”
