Elon Musk is sounding the alarm again about the dangers posed to humanity by AI, warning that more has to be done to limit its development or risk sleepwalking into a disaster. 

Speaking in Paris at the Viva Tech conference, Musk warned that regulations were needed to prevent artificial intelligence from morphing into something that can’t be controlled. This, the Tesla founder said, could result in a “catastrophic outcome” for humanity.

“I think there’s a real danger for digital super intelligence having negative consequences,” said Musk.

Musk’s warning echoes one he sounded in in an online petition he signed with over a 1,000 other technologists and researchers in March. The signatories warned that unchecked AI systems with competitive human intelligence would pose “catastrophic risks to society,” and called on OpenAI to pause further development of its artificial tool ChatGPT.

Short of a voluntary halt, the authors called on governments to force a moratorium if the company does not pause development. Musk repeated this at Viva Tech, reiterating his support for regulation because of the risks it poses to the public.

As a whole, Musk predicted that AI would “most likely” bring positive outcomes, including ushering in an “age of abundance” in terms of access to goods and services. But, he said, this should not be taken as a given.
