Despite his own role in the advancement of artificial intelligence, Elon Musk has long warned that the technology built by humans could one day lead to our destruction. And, the tech giant has now revealed he's kept a'wary eye' on the growth of AI for years as an investor in DeepMind, which was acquired by Google in 2014. While humans may be able to stop a runaway algorithm, there would be'no stopping' a large, centralized AI that calls the shots, Musk argues in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. Despite his own role in the advancement of artificial intelligence, Elon Musk has long warned that the technology built by humans could one day lead to our destruction. And, the tech giant has revealed he's kept a'wary eye' on the growth of AI for years as an investor in DeepMind Last summer, when asked at the Code Conference in southern California if the answer to the question of whether we are in a simulated computer game was'yes', Elon Musk said the answer is'probably'.

Elon Musk has dipped into the age-old adage, 'if you can't beat'em, join'em', advising that this is just what humans should do in order to prevent an eventual robot uprising. In a recent talk, the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder said that he thinks that we will see a'symbiosis between human and machine intelligence' in the coming years. Such a scenario would stamp out the possibility of a'dangerous situation' Musk said, in which AI that is smarter than man takes over.

Musk believes that computer game technology, particularly virtual reality, is already approaching a point that it is indistinguishable from reality.

In the hope of creating a'human-AI' cyborgs, Elon Musk has revealed that Tesla may be working on computers that can be implanted into people's brains. The astonishing revelation came in response to a tweet, asking Musk if he was working on'neural lace' – a way of installing computers into the human brain. It is not known what the brain chip could be used for, but Musk has previously said that it will be the'thing that really matters for humanity to achieve symbiosis with machines.' Musk remained elusive in response, saying: 'Maybe next month.' This isn't the first time that Musk has hinted that Tesla may be working on artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk has dipped into the age-old adage, 'if you can't beat'em, join'em', advising that this is just what humans should do in order to prevent an eventual robot uprising. In a recent interview with Y Combinator, Musk explained that the'best outcome' between humankind and machines would be a collective lifestyle where'we are the AI.' Such a scenario would stamp out the possibility of an'evil dictator AI,' Musk said, allowing anyone who wants to take part to become an'AI-human symbiote.'
