Musk: Race for artificial intelligence will be 'likely cause' of World War III

Fundador das empresas SpaceX e Tesla, Elon Musk

The dispute over leadership in the field of artificial intelligence will be the "probable cause" of World War III, at least in the opinion of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Space X's chief executive also warned that anyone who uses such technology first has a better chance of winning.

"China, Russia, soon all countries with strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority [artificial intelligence] at the probable national level cause for the GM3 [World War 3]," wrote Musk on his Twitter page.

According to the entrepreneur, the war will not be triggered by the leading nations in the area, but "by one of the artificial intelligences, if it [IA] decides that a preemptive strike is the most likely path to victory."

Still speaking of wars, Musk said he doubted that North Korea would launch a nuclear strike, saying that "launching a nuclear missile would be a suicide for its leadership, as South Korea, the US and China would invade and an end point in the regime ".

That too would not mean the beginning of a world war, in the view of the billionaire, for whom "North Korea is not collecting alliances to polarize the world into a war." In August, he had said that artificial intelligence poses a greater danger than Pyongyang.

Musk's remarks come a few days after Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that "the future belongs to artificial intelligence," and whoever dominates such technology will rule the world.

"Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humanity, it comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict, and who will become the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world," Putin said. .

Musk is a known critic of the dangers that artificial intelligence can bring to mankind. He maintains that there is a high probability that artificial intelligence, free from any regulation and supervision, will be able to become dishonest and destroy humans in the end.

"Artificial intelligence is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization so that car accidents, plane crashes, bad drugs or bad food were not. They were harmful to a set of individuals in society, of course, but they were not harmful to society as a whole, "Musk said in mid-July during a public event.
