AI 'more dangerous than nukes': Elon Musk still firm on regulatory oversight ZDNet

Video: Is regulating AI a bad idea? Entrepreneur Elon Musk has long held the position that innovators need to be aware of the social risk artificial intelligence (AI) presents to the future, but at South by Southwest (SXSW) on Sunday, the SpaceX founder pieced together his plan for the second coming of the Dark Ages, noting AI "scares the hell" out of him. Machine learning, task automation and robotics are already widely used in business.
