Elon Musk, head of Tesla and Twitter, said that the field of artificial intelligence is tense and that the government should regulate and control it.
Reuters quoted Musk as saying - yesterday, Wednesday, at the end of a presentation that lasted more than 3 hours to Tesla investors about the company's plans - "artificial intelligence is making me nervous."
"I'm a little worried about artificial intelligence," Musk said, surrounded by 16 Tesla executives including the head of Autopilot.
And Musk considered that artificial intelligence technology is "very dangerous," and continued, "I'm afraid I have done some things to speed it up."
At that meeting, executives gave presentations detailing how Tesla uses artificial intelligence technology to train vehicles to drive themselves, an effort that is under scrutiny from federal and state authorities.
When an analyst asked him if artificial intelligence could help Tesla build cars, Musk said, "I don't see that artificial intelligence will help us make cars anytime soon," and added, "At that point... there will be no benefit from my work or yours." .
But he added that Tesla's efforts to enable its cars to drive themselves safely were "clearly useful" in the field of artificial intelligence.
"I don't know. Tesla is doing good things in the field of artificial intelligence," he continued.
He paused and sighed. "This is making me nervous. I don't know what to say about it."
Musk commissioned a team of experts to create a competing product for the artificial intelligence program, "GPT Chat" (French).
Tesla's AI initiatives had the upper hand in Musk's presentation of what he called "Master Plan 3," the third in a series of studies on how to expand Tesla and drive the world's transition to "clean energy."
Earlier this week, it was reported that Musk had commissioned a team of artificial intelligence experts to create a competing product for the "ChatGPT" program launched by OpenAI, which is supported by Microsoft. ), in addition to similar systems under development at Google, Meta, and other large technology platforms.
And Musk tweeted last December - about the ability of "ChatGBT" to formulate prose, poetry, or even programming codes when asked to do so - by saying, "It's scary. We are not far from dangerously strong artificial intelligence."
He renewed those concerns for Tesla analysts on Wednesday.
