Elon Musk Predicts AGI Future, Riskier Than Nuclear Weapons

Elon Musk Warns AGI Is Riskier Than Nuclear Weapons

Elon Musk has been warning against the rapid development of AI and its dangers for a long time now.

In a recent tweet, Elon Musk said that he has seen quite a few technologies develop, but none with this level of risk.

He added, “AGI is significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons, in my opinion.”

This warning should raise an alarm as it is coming from a man who is considered to have an eye for innovation and future.

Replying to a tweet about AGI, Musk wrote that super smart humans have trouble imagining something vastly smarter than themselves.

Musk earlier signed an open letter with other experts seeking to halt AI development for six months.

Interestingly, Elon has also announced that he will develop TruthGPT as a rival to ChatGPT.
