Although AI is announced as one of the evolving technologies, many business tycoons and tech enthusiasts still consider it a significant threat to humankind.

Musk has stressed the need for some kind of regulatory authority overseeing AI development and making sure it's operating within the public interest.

To him, adopting AI is like “Summoning the Demon” which can evoke the next world war and result in dominating the world and that robot leadership is a threat to the world.

According to him, AI is a real existential risk to humankind and people should not cherish that; he is working hard to save the world from AI.
