Artificial Intelligence: Should We Worry?

In this 20-minute conversation, it’s hard to tell which is the “Artificial” Intelligence and which is Elon Musk’s. The video is an intro to some of the amazing possibilities and the possible dangers of anthropomorphizing artificial intelligence. It’s easy to forget that behind the lifelike image on the screen, are millions of tiny silicon chips and transistors residing in computers and data banks, which have been cleverly programmed to deceive us.

In the end, the video is a teaser for Musk’s online “Brilliant” STEM and AI learning software. While he may be a bit eccentric, Musk is brilliant.
