World-renowned AI scientist Mustafa Suleyman appears to disagree with Elon Musk’s assessment of the threats and benefits AI technologies could pose in the future.
Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Inflection AI and co-founder of Google’s DeepMind, had some strong words for Elon Musk during a post-event interview with the BBC after the recent United Kingdom artificial intelligence (AI) summit concluded on Nov. 2.
As Cointelegraph reported, Musk leaned into his penchant for sensational commentary during an interview with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the close of the two-day event.

During the conversation, Musk remarked that AI was like “a magic genie,” before warning, “Usually those stories don’t end well.”
The world’s richest person also warned that AI would eventually do virtually every job, something he apparently believes will cause humans to struggle to find purpose in their lives.
Musk also discussed the existential dangers that he believes AI presents, including the necessity to include a “physical off-switch” for AI systems so that humans can control the machines.
Sunak, for his part, agreed with Musk’s implication that Hollywood stories concerning AI, such as The Terminator, appeared to be foundation points for the basis of both men’s views on the technology. “All these movies with the same plot fundamentally all end with the person turning it off,” quipped Sunak.
