Elon Musk on cyborgs and the huge disruption that's closer than people think

#artificialintelligence

The future of the driverless car is much closer than people realize, Elon Musk reportedly said in a speech in Dubai Monday. The bad news, he points out, is that there will be a steep price to pay for the "great convenience." The Tesla TSLA, 3.94% and SpaceX CEO, according to CNBC, said the disruption will take place within about 20 years and will ultimately leave up to 15% of the global population without jobs. Musk also touched on one of his favorite topics: artificial intelligence. Specifically, he spoke of humans eventually merging with machines, like something out of a "Terminator" movie.
