Guest of the 20 Hours of France, Monday June 19, Elon Musk took the opportunity to alert on the misuse that can be made of AI, in particular on mass disinformation.
Artificial intelligence could be dangerous and not just anyone says so. Elon Musk, guest of the 20 hours of France 2this Monday, June 19, took advantage of one of his rare interventions in the media to defend AI, but also to warn against the abuses that it is possible to make, especially on social networks.
The boss of Twitter, who also announced that he wanted to equip human beings with brain implants at the Vivatech show, of which he was the distinguished guest, compared AI to nuclear power.
In his view, it is possible to do wonderful things with it, such as nuclear power to produce electricity, as well as much less virtuous things, such as atomic bombs for nuclear power.
“Avoid the misuse of this powerful technology”
“Misuse of this powerful technology must be avoided. Even before having a super-intelligent artificial intelligence (…), there is the risk that people will use this artificial intelligence for bad purposes, such as manipulating public opinion”, argued Elon Musk. The American billionaire defended the use of AI “wisely”. “Artificial intelligence could create enough anger on social networks to start a war: it is possible!”he added.
Here he mentioned the AIs used to create fake accounts on social networks that spread false information there. A not insignificant remark for the boss of Twitter, whose social media has withdrawn from the European code of good practice against misinformation. This Monday, he confirmed that “Twitter will obey the law [européenne]”.
