San Francisco: "We are headed toward a situation where AI is vastly smarter than humans. I think that time frame is less than five years from now. But that doesn't mean that everything goes to hell in five years. It just means that things get unstable or weird," Musk said in an interview with New York Times over the weekend.
However, Musk helped found the artificial intelligence research lab OpenAI in 2015 with the goal of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can learn and master several disciplines.
Recently, OpenAI released its first commercial product, a programme to make use of a next-generation tool that it once called too dangerous.
It has the potential to spare people from writing long texts. Once an application is developed on the basis of the programme, all they need to give is prompt.
OpenAI earlier desisted from revealing more about the software fearing bad actors might misuse it for producing misleading articles, impersonate others or even automate phishing content.
