Elon Musk Reminds Us of the Possible Dangers of Unregulated AI

The tongue-in-cheek post contained a picture of a gambling addiction ad stating "In the end the machines will win," -- not so obviously referring to gambling machines. On a more serious note, Musk said that the danger AI poses is more of a risk than the threat posed by North Korea. If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. This echoes his remarks earlier this month when he said, "AI just something that I think anything that represents a risk to the public deserves at least insight from the government because one of the mandates of the government is the public well-being." Nobody likes being regulated, but everything (cars, planes, food, drugs, etc) that's a danger to the public is regulated.
