During the Twitter thread, Andrew Kemendo, founder and CEO of the Mountain View, Calif.-based technology company Pair, argued “governments suck at AI, [and] it will be a corporation that builds a military that wins this.” Mr. Musk responded governments will “obtain AI developed by companies at gunpoint, if necessary.”
“Competition for AI superiority at [a] national level [is the] most likely cause of [World War III] [in my opinion],” Mr. Musk added.
Mr. Musk has openly expressed his anxieties related to AI in the past, and recently joined more than 100 tech industry experts in signing a letter to the United Nations begging it restrict the development of autonomous weapons.
