Elon Musk says humanity probably shouldn’t hit the brakes on artificial intelligence \u2014 even if it could.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Economist’s editor in chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, the world’s richest man said the risk of AI and robots going catastrophically wrong is “not zero.” He said he’d made peace with pressing ahead anyway.<\/p>\n

“My sort of philosophical conclusion is to look on the bright side,” Musk said. “I can’t see any way to really stop this incredible momentum of AI and robots.”<\/p>\n

“At times I sort of think, well, perhaps even if there was a stop button, we probably shouldn’t press it, because the most likely outcome is incredible abundance for all,” he said.<\/p>\n

Musk predicted AI may exceed the sum of human intelligence “in about five years,” leading to “an age of amazing abundance where anyone can have anything they can think of,” barring a derailment like “global thermonuclear war.”<\/p>\n
