“AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation instead of reactive, because I think by the time we are reactive in AI regulation, it’s too late.” Musk explained that regulation usually only happens after something “really bad happens” and it “takes forever.”
Unlike a plane crash or bad food which are harmful to the specific individuals involved, AI “poses a risk to society as a whole.” He suggested that AI “could start a war by doing fake news and spoofing email accounts and fake press releases, and just by manipulating information.
