AI Weekly: Musk and Zuck are missing the point

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a little tit-for-tat this week over artificial intelligence. Does it represent an existential threat to humanity, as Musk argues, or does it hold great promise to improve our lives, as Zuckerberg believes? On a Facebook Live broadcast, Zuckerberg declared, "I think people who are naysayers and try to drum up these doomsday scenarios -- I just, I don't understand it. It's really negative, and in some ways I actually think it is pretty irresponsible." Musk took the kerfuffle to Twitter, replying: "I've talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited."
