The Great Debate in AI Ethics Surfaces on Social Media: Elon Musk v. Mark Zuckerberg

I am a great admirer of both Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. That is one reason why the social media debate last week between them concerning artificial intelligence, a subject also near and dear, caused such dissonance. How could they disagree on such an important subject? This blog will lay out the "great debate." It is far from a private argument between Elon and Mark. It is a debate that percolates throughout scientific and technological communities concerned with AI.
