Elon Musk Warns AI Is ‘More Dangerous Than Nukes’

Elon Musk recently issued a warning about artificial intelligence, saying it is “more dangerous than nukes.”

Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla and an all-around genius, recently again issued a warning about artificial intelligence saying it is "more dangerous than nukes."
He made that and other related comments on Sunday during an appearance at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
"The danger of AI is much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads, by a lot and nobody would suggest that we allow anyone to just build nuclear warheads if they want -- that would be insane," Musk said.
"Mark my words: AI is far more dangerous than nukes, by far, so why do we have no regulatory oversight, this is insane," he continued.
This is not the first time he's expressed his fear that irresponsible and uninformed advances in AI will be humankind's downfall. 
Last year, Musk cautioned, "I keep sounding the alarm bell. But until people see robots going down the street killing people, they don't know how to react." 
He is not alone in his dystopian vision of the future. 
Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking are among those who have advised caution as well.
