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.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.
