Why Elon Musk is Wrong about AI – Hacker Noon

AI will rise up and kill us all. Didn't Facebook have to shut down their latest monstrous experiment because it went rogue and developed its own secret language? For all we know, Skynet's factories are cranking out an army of Terminators already! The only problem is, it's all nonsense. It's an "existential threat worse than North Korea," he warns. Last I checked they have nukes and a little madman in power and super-AI is still confined to the pages of cyberpunk novels, so I'm not buying it. Look, the guy is a lot smarter than me and I think his batteries, cars and solar roof tiles will change the world but he's spent a little too much time watching 2001: A Space Odyssey.
