During an uncommon
interview conducted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if AI is not regulated, there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant. He even claimed that humanoid robots might be a perfect friend for one of his sons who is having difficulty in having friends. I have always believed that regardless of how sophisticated these AI tools become, they will never replace humans. But hearing this prediction for an individual who has a full understanding of the AI sector is frightening. Elon Musk owns an AI company, xAI, that is competing with big AI firms like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.
These comments can increase the fear and anxiety workers always had that these super-computers will replace them in future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?
I don't understand Elon Musk. On the one hand, he warns people that if artificial intelligence is not regulated, it can get out of control and become a clear threat to the existence of all humanity. Here he is on the contrary, his words are given that if AI is not regulated, then it can become so useful that it can replace male professions.
AI can be useful in many areas, especially in the advancement of science. But at the same time, robots with AI will not be able to completely replace the participation of people, and control and certain restrictions on their activities are needed in any case. AI should not be entrusted with those areas of activity where it can cause global harm to humanity.
