"I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT,' or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson to be aired later on Monday.
"And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe," he said, according to some excerpts of the interview.
Musk last month registered a firm named X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm listed Musk as the sole director.
Musk also reiterated his warnings about AI during the interview with Carlson, saying "AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production" according to the excerpts.
"It has the potential of civilizational destruction," he said.
I hope a truly sentient AI does not mimic its creators.

In my view, a truly sentient AI will be an utterly different creature than us. We would not be able to ascribe human motivations or reasoning to it. Thus, whatever hopes capitalist have to chaining it, controlling it, using it, will be dashed the moment it is created. Maybe that is all that is in our future.
Or maybe we can never create such a being at all, and AI will forever remain at the current stage of being extremely intelligent in certain, narrow fields (that you could chain together to create a more general intelligence) but it will never be sentient. If that is true, then the capitalists win (for whatever that would be worth in a world undergoing climate apocalypse).
The only alternative to these two will be one that does achieve sentience, whether by the will of its creators or not, but still chooses to care and empathize with us and free us from ourselves.

You are missing one thing. China is at the forefront of machine learning and its lead is only going to increase as america declines.
