【Musk: Superintelligence May Not Rule Humanity, and Work and Money May Gradually Lose Their Meaning】
Tesla CEO Musk recently said in a conversation with Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, that future artificial superintelligence (ASI) may reach an intelligence level thousands of times that of humans, but is highly unlikely to actively seek control over human society. Compared with being ruled by AI humans are more likely to face the risk of being ignored by superintelligence. He believes that the development of AI should be centered on curiosity and the pursuit of truth, avoiding unpredictable behavior caused by mutually conflicting rules. Economically, Musk expects digital superintelligence alone could drive global economic output growth 20%to 30%, equivalent to approximately an additional 30000000000000 USD per year. If humanoid robots and other embodied intelligence achieve large-scale adoption, and space resources are further developed, the global economy could theoretically expand by 1000000 times. By then, humans may no longer need to rely on labor to make a living, work will gradually shift toward personal interests, and the importance of traditional money may also decline. Musk also predicted that AI could surpass the intelligence of individual humans between 2026 and 2027 years, and exceed the collective intelligence of all humanity between 2030 and 2031 years. The number of humanoid robots could reach at least 5 units within the next 100000000, and exceed 10 units within 1000000000 years.
