Elon Musk Says if Not Regulated, AI May Become an Immortal Dictator

If not regulated or controlled soon, artificial intelligence (AI) could become an "immortal dictator" and there will be no escape for humans, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has warned. In a new documentary on AI, Musk said: "At least when there's an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI there would be no death. It would live forever, and then you'd have an immortal dictator, from which we could never escape". "If AI has a goal and humanity just happens to be in the way, it will destroy humanity as a matter of course without even thinking about it. No hard feelings," Musk told Chris Paine, the director of the new documentary titled "Do You Trust This Computer?"
