Elon Musk, Jonathan Nolan Warn of Artificial Intelligence in New Film

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, delivers a warning about artificial intelligence in the new documentary Do You Trust This Computer?, directed by Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric Car?). Musk himself appears in the film, where he observes, "AI doesn't have to be evil to destroy humanity. But if AI has a goal, and humanity just happens to be in the way, if will destroy us as a mater of course without even thinking about it." Musk also was among those, like Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan, who attended the film's premiere Thursday at the Regency Theater in Westwood. Before the film, which explores both the promise and the dangers of AI, Musk said, "It's a very important subject that will affect our lives in ways we can't even imagine -- some scary, some good."
