Zuckerberg and Musk both have ideas about A.I. Which billionaire can really see the future?
Key Points:
- Marl Zuckerberg says A.I. is a good thing, while Elon Musk says it’s a threat to humanity.
- In the short term, A.I. will be good for opening up opportunities and making our lives easier.
- The tipping point is self-awareness. Right now robots are pretty stupid, but eventually they will be as smart as humans. When that happens, we are in trouble.
- There isn’t a huge rush right now to take care of killer robots, but it is something we should keep an eye on moving forward.

A.I is likely to be either the best or worst thing to happen to humanity. – Stephen Hawking
