The Reason Behind Elon Musk keeps talking like he’s scared of the AI that they are building

Let me tell you a story.

Two or three years back, Google developed some robots with a built-in AI for some experiment.

Now everything was going perfectly, and they were giving instructions, and the robots were following them.

But one day, the developers discovered that the robots have started to communicate with each other based on their unique language, which they have made by themselves.

While the robotic language was alien to developers, it was perfectly understandable by the robots with-in each other. The developers freaked out and shut the program.

This isn’t to say that AI can be extremely dangerous (as they have been trying to tell us through the Terminator movie series), but the fact can’t be ignored that there are chances that AI can overcome weak humans with a more weak vision.

This is what scares Elon Musk, and that’s why he is concerned about giving too much power to AI.
