Elon Musk AMA
Does anyone know why Musk believes so strongly that robot overlords are a serious threat?  I don't understand how wasting any time worrying about AI taking over, Terminator-style, is productive.  We're not going to be developing Strong AI any time soon, so it's simply not a problem worth worrying about.  And if we do, the Strong AI won't be in any position to "take over."  It probably won't even want to take over.  That's a very human trait, and Strong AI wouldn't be human.<p>I'm wondering whether he was tricked by someone at DeepMind, perhaps the same way people were tricked hundreds of years ago into thinking a chess-playing robot was possible.
