Elon Musk 'Right to be Concerned' About A.I., Google CEO Says

The Google CEO was told in a recent interview that Musk had weighed in on the company's new Google Clips camera, which uses artificial intelligence to capture photos automatically, and the Tesla CEO wasn't exactly a fan. Musk, who's spoken before about the problems such super-smart systems pose, said Clips "doesn't even seem innocent," an assessment Pichai responded to rather diplomatically. "He's a deep thinker about problems, and I think it's right to be concerned about A.I.," Pichai told Bloomberg in an interview published Thursday. He went on to say that because society can't press the pause button on tech advancements, Google's role is to be a "thoughtful and ethical" steward. "None of us have answers yet, which is what Elon is pointing out."
