Elon Musk warns of catastrophic outcome without AI regulation.

Elon Musk expressed surprise that anyone would heed his call for a pause on A.I. development, which he made in March along with hundreds of other tech luminaries. The Tesla CEO reiterated his call for strong regulation around the technology, calling advanced A.I. a “risk to the public.” Critics of the call for a pause argued that it was not plausibly implementable and that research would simply move to China. Musk warned of “potentially a catastrophic outcome” if humanity is not “careful with creating artificial general intelligence.”
