Elon Musk on the threat of Artificial intelligence..

The other day I was listening to Elon Musk talking on the threat AI poses to humanity. Please click here to listen to the interview.

Born in June 1971, at 51 years, we know Elon Musk is no doubt, the greatest tech-preneur on planet earth now. With more real life experience than any living human being on global finance, cutting edge technology in EV, space systems, Internet technology, mass communication and social media, with the courage to experiment, experience extreme success and cross depths of despair and failure, his words carry a lot of weight. 

Being more daring than anyone living, he has been through the peaks of intellectual brilliance and depths of commercial failure. Indeed his words carry lot of weight. According to him, Artificial intelligence is the greatest existential threat to human civilisation. 

Musk feels Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is more dangerous than artificial narrow intelligence, like in cars or in medical field, he feels artificial intelligence if allowed to grow irresponsibly, without regulations and oversight is a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons. 

Agreeing fully with Elon Musk, I feel we definitely need global monitoring systems and regulations to oversee research and developments in this area like we have in the area of nuclear weapons. 

Can the world think of an agency like Global Artificial Intelligence Monitoring Agency (GAIMA) that can guide and direct the research and innovations in AI globally ?
