Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has described artificial intelligence as a “demon” and the “biggest existential threat there is”, in his latest dramatic statement about technology.
Addressing students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Musk said: “I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.
“With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon. In all those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it’s like yeah he’s sure he can control the demon. Didn’t work out.”
I should clarify what i am perceiving as the previous post wasn’t clear.
If the end-goal is to merge human and machine, then the recent comments by both Musk and Bergoglio appear to be bringing us to this eventuality.
Musk moves from a position of science to include religious terms and Bergoglio moves from religion to include science.
Both are conflating science and religion and are doing so from opposite poles, meeting in the middle at some point in our future.
Possible?
This is worrisome and occurring simultaneously with this. They are conflating the two from both ends. Does Musk work for the Vatican?
