Title: Elon Musk donates $10m to keep artificial
intelligence good for humanity
Summary:
Billionaire entrepreneur and
space travel-fan, Elon Musk says his money should be used to address concerns
over safety. Musk has donated $10m to an AI research institute earmarked for a
global research programme aimed at keeping AI beneficial to humanity.
Facts/Phrases:
Ø The
money will be used to support the goals laid out by the more than 100 AI
researchers in early January, when they signed an open letter put out by the
Future of Life Institute (FLI) calling on scientists to avoid AI “pitfalls”.
Ø The
FLI warns that self-driving cars need better ethical underpinnings before
they can hit the streets, and that the economic case for replacing large
sections of the workforce with robots ought to be subject to more scrutiny.
Opinion:
In my opinion, this is an
intriguing topic as artificial intelligence is still a new industry despite its
recent emergence. Artificial intelligence brings a whole new ball game to the
table, and with it there is a dramatic benefit to risk ratio. Personally I am intrigued
and concerned; watching films about robots tends to change the ones perspective
to the AI killing humanity.
