While digital giants from all over the world want to make the concept of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to assist people in their daily lives a reality, the risk of the developing technology turning rogue still exists. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Twitter, brought up the idea that AI could wipe out civilisation in his remarks.
Following reports that the businessman was putting together a team of AI academics and engineers, Musk’s intention to launch a new AI venture came to light on March 15. However, Musk keeps emphasizing how AI has the potential to be destructive if it is produced with bad intentions or falls into the wrong hands, just like any other technology.
