Elon Musk has raised concerns about the potential dangers of super-powerful artificial intelligence (AI) on social media platform X.
What Happened: Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc and SpaceX, reacted to a post by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen on Wednesday, warning of the “civilization-level risks” posed by super-powerful AI.
Andreessen’s post highlighted the influence of individuals who determine what can be accessed online and are currently shaping AI. This was in response to a post by Christopher F. Rufo who quoted Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR.
Maher highlighted that “the number one challenge” in combating disinformation is the First Amendment in the United States, which complicates efforts to censor “bad information” and “influence peddlers” who propagate it.
