Elon Musk predicted Thursday that the future of artificial intelligence (AI) would be a “era of abundance”with a “high universal income” rather than a universal basic income, but warned that “humanoid robots” could hunt humans. The SpaceX and Tesla owner was speaking in conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the sidelines of the first global AI summit at Bletchley Park, UK.
He felt that there would come a time when “no work is necessary”, during a face-to-face with Rishi Sunak which took place later in London. Jobs instead would only be for those who wanted one for “personal satisfaction”, he added. The AI was like “a magical genius” which makes all your wishes come true, said Elon Musk, while reminding that these fairy tales rarely end well. “One of the future challenges is how to find meaning in life,” he estimated.

“Concerned about humanoid robots”
According to him “we should be very concerned” by humanoid robots which “can follow you anywhere”. Et “what happens if he ever gets a software update and he’s not so friendly anymore?”, asked Elon Musk. The technology billionaire thus underlined the importance of having a physical switch.
Rishi Sunak responded that “we all watched” movies about robots that end with the machines turned off. The two-day gathering at Bletchley ended on Thursday with Western governments and companies involved agreeing to a new security testing regime, in what is known as Next Generation “border” deadline. Not broadcast live, this Musk-Sunak exchange will be shared on X later.
