Tesla boss Elon Musk has warned that artificial intelligence - such as self-aware robots - is probably the biggest threat to the human race. <\/p>\n
\"With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon,\" the founder of SpaceX said during a speech. <\/p>\n
\"In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like yeah he's sure he can control the demon. Didn't work out.\" <\/p>\n
Mr Musk was addressing the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics department's Centennial Symposium when he discussed oversight to \"make sure we don't do something very foolish\". <\/p>\n
Major technology companies including Google and Facebook are exploring the potential of artificial intelligence, which uses computers for tasks which usually require human intelligence. <\/p>\n
Mr Musk hinted that some form of global oversight of artificial intelligence is needed to keep technology in check. <\/p>\n
\"Increasingly scientists think there should be some regulatory oversight maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish.\" <\/p>\n
Mr Musk has previously tweeted dark warnings that the results of artificial intelligence could be \"more dangerous that nukes\". <\/p>\n
