Elon Musk: we communicate too slowly for future AI to understand

When scientists finally crack the code of superhuman artificial intelligence, verbal communication between us humans and the machines may be a total wash, according to SpaceX and Tesla leader Elon Musk. The problem, Musk believes, comes from the different speeds at which a human and a computer can process information, according to Business Insider. Computer engineers have built processors that work at blazing-fast speeds, but our mortal brains work far slower -- a disparity Musk thinks could break down future human-AI relations. Musk described how computers could process information much more rapidly than humans during a presentation on AI this week, BI reports. "To a computer… a millisecond is an eternity, but to us it's nothing," Musk said.
