Elon Musk says AI will eventually create a situation where 'no job is needed'

The billionaire technology leader said late Thursday that AI will have the potential to become the "most disruptive force in history."

• Speaking in a conversation with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, tech billionaire Elon Musk said that AI will have the potential to become the “most disruptive force in history.”
• Musk has on multiple occasions warned of the threats AI poses to humanity, most recently urging for a pause to development of AI more advanced than OpenAI’s GPT-4.

LONDON — Elon Musk thinks that artificial intelligence could eventually put everyone out of a job.

The billionaire technology leader, who is CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and CTO and executive chairman of X, formerly known as Twitter, and owner of the newly formed AI startup xAI, said late Thursday that AI will have the potential to become the “most disruptive force in history.”

“We will have something that is, for the first time smarter than the smartest human,” Musk said at an event at Lancaster House, an official U.K. government residence.

“It’s hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed,” Musk continued, speaking alongside British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. “You can have a job if you wanted to have a job for personal satisfaction. But the AI would be able to do everything.”

“I don’t know if that makes people comfortable or uncomfortable,” Musk joked, to which the audience laughed.

“If you wish for a magic genie, that gives you any wish you want, and there’s no limit. You don’t have those three wish limits nonsense, it’s both good and bad. One of the challenges in the future will be how do we find meaning in life.”

Musk has on multiple occasions warned of the threats that AI poses to humanity, having once said it could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. He was one of numerous tech leaders who urged for a pause to development of AI more advanced than OpenAI’s GPT-4 software in a widely cited open letter released earlier this year.

Other tech leaders disagree with that view, including Palantir’s boss, Alex Karp. Speaking to BBC Radio in June, Karp said he is of the view that “many of the people asking for a pause, are asking for a pause because they have no product.”

Musk’s comments Thursday follow the conclusion of a landmark summit at Bletchley Park, England, where world leaders agreed to a global communique on AI that saw them find common ground on the risks the technology poses to humanity.

Technologists and political leaders used the summit to warn of the existential threats that AI poses, focusing on some of the possible doomsday scenarios that could be formed with the invention of a hypothetical superintelligence.

The summit saw the U.S. and China, two countries clashing the most tensely over technology, agree to find global consensus on how to tackle some of the more complex questions around AI, including how to develop it safely and regulate it.

I would recommend the people not believing too much to self proclaimed prophets. Al is created by human. It’s nothing more than software codes and machines. It certainly will not replace humans.

But who knows in 50y machines can self produce itself then Musk is right, human race is dispensable. In short and medium terms mass of people in simple mechanics and computer jobs will be laid off. Google just announces an other round of job cuts.

Remember this world can be driven by how expensive something is to produce not how socially responsible a company is for keeping people employed.

If a company can save money by having AI do the job there is a high probability they will replace the human worker.

..and don't kid yourself that robots will never be dexterous enough to do human manual labor.

I'd rather die first. Look SKYNET's made it's first move already!

Time will create new types of jobs, may be a word or system called job now would be replaced with something else in the era we see the AI is doing many things for humans without errors and it is legally recognised by the system

 

[Maula Jatt]

fear mongering for no reason - just like people feared other such technologies throughout human history

Yes but the minus is Al will replace millions of jobs in India, Philippines. Those workers do simple jobs as software coding, accounting, english translation, helpdesk. In the future those jobs are dispensable.

I wonder if this guy gets paid to shill musk here. Ie musk pays people to shill him in every media event so that he gains status with low iqs who think celebrity has value.

Maybe you are just bitter nobody from your country is ever a world shaker. Outsiders are always the leaders in how the world is transformed...and you are powerless to direct the flow.

His words are news because he transforms the world...maybe not for your country yet...but eventually it will trickle down after it becomes ubiquitous in other nations.

He was laughed at by many Asians here in 2015 as being a scammer and that electric cars are a fad that won't ever happen. It may not be true for your country now but eventually it will. Look what is going on in China:

Chinese EV makers on course to smashing 8.5 million sales target: industry

China’s EV market is expected to maintain strong growth momentum in the fourth quarter of 2023, thanks to new launches and discounts offered by carmakers, industry players and observers said.

He was laughed on PDF when he tried to launch and land rockets by people saying his technique will never work. Now because of that F-22 Raptor posts every landing with a count just to remind those PDF doubters:

SpaceX launches O3b mPOWER mission; lands booster 245th time, 83 total launches this year

maube you are just bitter nobody from your country is ever a world shaker.

Are you a paid shill or not?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Are you a paid shill or not?

Yes, Elon Musk is my next door neighbor. He tosses a wad of cash on my driveway every morning for a job well done. Next year he'll have a private jet delivered to my front door by Amazon Prime.

You mentioned low IQ people here...maybe you should look in the mirror.

Huh? Why do you keep single mindedly spamming elon musk's stuff here then?
