Elon Musk: Everyone, Including Tesla, Needs AI Regulation – Futurism

The Quote

Via TechCrunch, Elon Musk, Monday night, on Twitter (of course):

Musk was responding to a massive feature story published in the MIT Technology Review about OpenAI, the AI research lab founded in partby Elon Musk, alongside others.

The lab operates with the mission of developing safe and ethical AI thatll be good for the world. But MIT Techs reporting tells of how Open AI went from being a transparent organization to a relatively opaque one (hence Musks preceding Tweet about OpenAI needing to be more open).

Musks ability to self-aggrandize or self-flagellate is usually surprising in equal measure, but never shocking: Industries often argue for their own regulation as a way to keep government regulators off their backs.

Though credit where its due: Musk has been, as in the case of when he argued in favor of regulating autonomous weapons, more substantially and more effectively vocal than most when it comes to regulating AI. Whether or not this will have any substantial effects on other companies (statements from CEOs, regulatory commission efforts, etc) let alone Tesla or OpenAI will be nothing if not a compelling plot to watch.
