People fear AI advancing

Contrary to Musk’s opinion, many people now fear that AI will deprive them of jobs in the future, which makes them frightened of the prospect AI spreading around the world. In December, Musk predicted that we are less than three years away from seeing AI writing novels as good as the Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, discovering new physics and getting better at anything humans are good at.

However, Musk believes that it is important to train AI to make it as truthful and curious as possible in order to let it “foster humanity” and not destroy it as it happened in the classic movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”, where the AI on the spaceship called Hall killed all the space crew since it had been trained to lie to them.
