Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed the next event for the electric vehicle maker for next month when it holds its artificial intelligence day on August 19. The enigmatic tech exec, who often shares news on social media, took to Twitter late Wednesday evening to announce the event. It's unclear exactly what the company will show off or discuss, but Musk added that the event will focus on recruiting the best talent to work for the Palo Alto, California-based company. 'Convincing the best AI talent to join Tesla is the sole goal,' Musk said in a follow up tweet sent early Thursday morning. It's unclear exactly what the company will show off or discuss, but Musk added that the event will focus on recruiting the best talent to work for the Palo Alto, California-based company Tesla does not have a traditional press office and a tweet to Musk was not immediately returned.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, says that AI like the one his companies make should be better regulated. Musk's opinion on the dangers of letting AI proliferate unfettered was prompted by a report published in MIT Technology Review about changing company culture at OpenAI, a technology company that helps develop new AI. Elon Musk formerly helmed the company but left due to conflicts of interest. The report claims that OpenAI has shifted from its goal of equitably distributing AI technology to a more secretive, funding-driven company. 'OpenAI should be more open imo,' he tweeted.

I don't want to really scare you, but it was alarming how many people I talked to who are highly placed people in AI who have retreats that are sort of'bug out' houses, to which they could flee if it all hits the fan.

An artificial intelligence project capable of writing fake news that was deemed'too dangerous' to release to the public has been recreated by two university students. Open AI, a project founded with the support of Elon Musk, is able to generate news stories from a headline or first line of text. In February, the firm released a limited version of its software for other developers to use, to explore its potential. The firm, which Musk is no longer involved in, has since launched an updated version of the software with half of the power of the full AI. Now, computer science master's students Aaron Gokaslan and Vanya Cohen from Brown University have shared code for what they say is the full version.

An artificial intelligence project backed by SpaceX founder Elon Musk has been so successful its developers are not releasing it to the public for fear it will be misused. Research group Open AI developed a'large-scale unsupervised language model' that is able to generate news stories from a simple headline. But the group insists it will not be releasing details of the programme and instead has unveiled a much smaller version for research purposes. Its developers claim the technology is poised to rapidly advance in the coming years and the full specification and details of the project will only be released when the negative applications have been discussed by researchers. Elon Musk's AI research group Open AI announced in a paper yesterday that it has generated'a large-scale unsupervised language model' that can write news stories from little more than a headline.

Humans will come to love robots like they are'family' rather than fear them as the enemy, according to a leading Oxford University scholar. Sir Nigel Shadbolt says we are entering an age where AI will act as a carers for the elderly and a friend for lonely children. He claims that fears robots will turn on people and destroy humanity are unfounded. Robots will become beloved members of the family, not the enemy of humanity, claims leading Oxford University scholar. Sir Nigel, a professor of computer science at Oxford University, made the comments at the Hay Festival in Wales.

People are terrified of the prospect of robots replacing humans in the workforce. But apparently they're not so scared that they fear a robot may be coming for their own job. That's according to a recent Gallup survey, which found that roughly 75% of U.S. adults think AI will'eliminate more jobs than it creates.' However, only 23% of American workers fear they will lose their own job to technology. A new Gallup survey finds that people believe robots are going to replace more and more human jobs, just not their own.

CAIRO – 28 February 2018: Who would have ever imaged that a small drone, one small enough and unthreatening enough to sit amongst our children's toys, could pose a risk to the whole of humanity. The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes this a near possibility, and one that could threaten the essence of human morality. A simulation of what micro-drones could do if assigned for killing was used in an international campaign to raise awareness against AI threats, calling international organizations including the United Nations to take serious actions. The simulation was part of a seven-minute fictional video released by the Future of Life Institute and University of California-Berkeley's Professor Stuart Russell.

They get emotional, disobey orders, and aim high. Let's watch the weapons take the decisions," the lecturer said in the video before displaying the killing simulation.

In October 2014, speaking to students at MIT, Elon Musk (CEO of SpaceX and Tesla) proclaimed that A.I. was the greatest threat to mankind, saying "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful."[i] Then, in December 2014, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking added fuel to the fire, saying "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race … It [A.I.] would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate," he said. "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."[ii]

Elon Musk may be a driving force behind super-intelligent computers, but he's also one of the most outspoken people on its dangers. He has previously described it as'summoning the demon' and a threat that is'more dangerous than nukes.' Now the SpaceX-founder says he is donating $10 million (£6.6 million) to the Future of Life Institute for research on how to keep artificial intelligence safe.
