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?
This is a serious issue the government would need to attend to because with the way artificial intelligence is advancing, it will get to a stage when their would be not job again for people because AI and robots would take care of everything with ease. The government would have to come in and regulate it as soon as possible so that the phase in which artificial intelligence is advancing would be limit and caution would be established. Elon is absolutely right and this would happen soon when we would no longer need to read books again or do strenuous jobs that would stress us.
