Elon Musk 'Nuts' To Call For AI Regulation, Says Facebook's Chief AI Scientist

Elon Musk speaks during an event at the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, U.S., on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018. Facebook's chief artificial intelligence scientist Yann LeCun says that Elon Musk is "nuts" to call for regulation on AI at this relatively early stage in its development. While there have been a number of important AI breakthroughs in the last few years, AI is still fairly nascent. Try having an in-depth conversation with Siri and you'll soon see. The most sophisticated AI agents can excel at certain narrow tasks, such as games, but they lack common sense and the ability to learn across multiple domains.
