For better regulation of AI

The position of Elon Musk, big boss of Tesla, SpaceX and X, is quite ambivalent on artificial intelligence. At the same time, the billionaire of South African origin uses AI for his autonomous cars, taxis and other robots and at the same time, he has a very alarming vision of AI, considering this technology as “a real threat to humanity” and calling for greater regulation. The American magazine “Harris Beach” also recalls that Elon Musk recently expressed the wish to see “a regulatory body established to supervise AI to ensure that it does not present a danger to the public” . A wish that should be heard by Donald Trump, to whom he is increasingly close.
