Elon Musk: Unregulated AI Could Be The "Biggest Risk We Face as a Civilization"

As a guest speaker at the 2017 National Governors Association Summer Meeting, entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk covered a number of topics, including artificial intelligence (AI). During his talk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO and founder urged the U.S. governors present on Saturday to set up regulations for the development of AI. Musk is very familiar with the topic of AI, as he's spoken about it a number of times. To be clear, he isn't afraid of AI itself. What scares him is what could happen if AI is left unchecked.
