Elon Musk is a business mogul, engineer, CEO at Tesla Motors and CEO and CTO of SpaceX. He is also Chairman of SolarCity. Musk believes that the world has many factors that could make it more complex and lead to disasters. Donald Trump wins the US election and becomes upset that Mexico doesn’t pay for his wall at the border. Russian troops invade NATO-member Norway following a GPS glitch. A Russian-Turkish standoff escalates or an escalating Chinese-Japanese rhetorical and threat regarding the disputed islands turns into something much more dangerous. North Korea and South Korea could be at war anytime, and the United States would support South Korea. Japan and the United States would also join South Korea, and China would assist its northerly neighbour. The European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA would then join Japan and the USA, and Russia would consider whether or not to aid China ….,. Albert Einstein stated that “I don’t know how the Third World War is going to be fought.” However, I do know what the Fourth World War will look like — rocks! A new golden age of peace was established after WWI. In an interview with GQ Mr. Musk indicated that he doesn’t think it’s possible for us to discount the possibility. Musk stated: “You see, they declared a new age in 1912, proclaiming peace and prosperity. They said it was the end of war. Then you have World War I, followed by World War II and then the Cold War. “So I believe we must acknowledge the possibility that there could be a Third World War. And if it does happen, it could prove to be much worse than any previous wars. Humanity has never moved ahead Mr. Musk speculates on what might happen if nuclear weapons are used in the next World War. It is possible for religious extremism to suddenly grow or there could be an anti-technology movement. Is ISIS growing Many people assume technology will keep on improving. Musk points out that there were times in history when technology was not able to reach the same level of progress as it had before. These included the Roman Empire’s many advancements and the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. Musk wonders if there is a wrong sense of arrogance or complacency when we assume history will not repeat itself. Egypt’s pyramids were built several thousand years ago. This feat of engineering was unmatched for many thousand years. Sometimes, humankind takes a step back before taking a leap forward. He believes that today’s tech industry can sometimes be linked to arrogance and complacency. His fear of World War III may lead to humankind’s decline in many ways, he says. It may be possible to colonize Mars. We might have a very short window in which to establish a colony on Mars. Mr. Musk wonders if events could halt technology progress or even reverse it. He admits that his fears are not far-fetched. It is not difficult to believe that humans will ever become more intelligent. Professor Stephen Hawking is concerned that artificial intelligence may one day be our demise. Musk points out how humans do foolish things. You will be amazed at how reckless and stupid humans can be when you look at leaders of certain countries and people trying to gain power. net: “It’s heartening that someone so committed to hyperloops, electric cars and rockets to Mars is still level-headed enough to realize that humans don’t always make sensible decisions. Some aspects of progress are also a concern to Mr. Musk. He, along with other prominent scientists like Professor Stephen Hawking and theoretical physicist, has often voiced their concerns that Artificial Intelligence (and super-advanced robotics) could eventually lead to the demise of humankind. Elon Musk says that humans won’t always be smarter. (Image by Facebook) Elon Musk, during an interview at AeroAstro Centennial Symposium in 2014,, spoke out against artificial Intelligence (AI). He stated to students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology that AI was the greatest threat to humanity’s survival. The Guardian quoted Mr. Musk as saying that artificial intelligence is a serious threat to humanity. It’s likely that this is the greatest existential threat. We need to be careful.” This is why I think there needs to be more regulation. In February, Stephen Hawking, a University of Oxford professor, was quoted as saying that he fears artificial intelligence. Hawking also said that super-smart robotics, if they are not carefully controlled and monitored could lead to the end of human civilization. Professor Hawking spoke to the BBC December 2014, about his communication technology, including a basic AI form. He said that the development of fully artificial intelligence would lead to the destruction of humanity. However, all of current AI forms are still very beneficial for human beings. However, this technology remains largely primitive. His curiosity is piqued about what might happen when technology can match and surpass human capabilities. It would fly by itself and reinvent itself at an increasing pace. He warned that humans, which are restricted by slow biological development, wouldn’t be able to compete and will eventually be overtaken.” Prof. Hawking said. Imagine a future where advanced artificial intelligence is created that continuously improves itself, until it realizes we are the greatest threat to this planet’s destruction.
