Elon Musk is something like the total entrepreneur.CEO of Spacex, the company that promises to revolutionize travel to space, and Tesla Motors, with which he wants to convert the electric car into a mass product, he was barely 31 when he left PayPal with 165 million dollars in his pocket.So if Musk is worried because he believes that Terminator's dystopia can become a reality, consumers would do well to start trembling.
In an interview with the CNBC, Musk considers more than plausible a scenario as described by the films saga, in which an artificial intelligence of global reach becomes hegemonic using the Internet and robots of all kinds.
The entrepreneur has invested in artificial vicarious Intelligence, a company founded with the sole objective of "building a unified algorithmic architecture to achieve artificial intelligence at the level of humans in terms of vision, language and motor control".
And he explains his reasons to enter capital: "It's not about obtaining benefit.It is rather that I want to be attentive to what happens around artificial intelligence (...).I think there is a possible source of danger ".
Musk remembers that Vicarious is trying to replicate at the computer level the processes that happen in the brain, and expressly mentions Terminator films to explain without the need to extend much to what type of threats refers to: Killer robots.
Se trata, según el empresario, de garantizar que la tecnología se usa para hacer el bien, y no para que los humanos terminemos siendo cazados.
