BREAKING: Elon Musk Suggests A.I. Would Already Be “In Control” Before Regulation Could Stop It

An interview between Tucker Carlson and Twitter CEO and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk aired on Monday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Musk told Carlson that if artificial intelligence is not regulated soon, it will be “too late to actually put regulations in place.”

“Can you just roughly explain what you think the dangers [of artificial intelligence] might be,” Carlson asked.

“I think perhaps what you may be alluding to here is that regulations are really only put into effect after something terrible has happened,” Musk responded. “If that’s the case for AI and we only put in regulations after something terrible has happened, it may be too late to actually put the regulations in place.”

“The AI may be in control at that point,” the Twitter CEO added.

“You think that’s real, it is it is conceivable that AI could take control and reach a point where you couldn’t turn it off and it would be making the decisions for people,” Carlson asked.

“Yeah absolutely, absolutely. That’s definitely but where things are headed,” Musk replied.

In a preview of the interview released Sunday, Musk told Carlson multiple different US government agencies had “full access” to content Twitter users sent through direct messages.

“Various government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on Twitter. I was not aware of that.” Musk told Carlson.

“Did that include people’s DMs,” Carlson asked. “Yes,” Musk replied.

Musk also warned Carlson that artificial intelligence could lead to the destruction of civilization.

“AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production,” he said. “In the sense that it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction.”
