During a recent appearance at the Viva Tech event in Paris, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk humorously stated that he was an alien, although he noted that no one took him seriously. Speaking remotely via webcam, Musk also discussed a variety of topics, including artificial intelligence and its impact on future employment.
Elon Musk’s alien declaration
When the event host mentioned that some people thought Musk was an alien, he laughed and replied, “I’m an alien.” The host further joked, “Now you’ve been discovered,” to which Musk replied, “Yes, I keep saying I’m an alien, but no one believes me.” This light-hearted exchange highlighted Musk’s playful nature at the event.
Artificial intelligence discussion
The conversation then turned to more earnest topics, in particular artificial intelligence (AI). Musk predicted that artificial intelligence would eventually eliminate all jobs, but argued that it would not be a negative phenomenon. “None of us will probably have a job,” he said, imagining a future where work was optional. He explained: “I think in the long run, in a benign scenario, any job someone does will be optional. If you want to do work as a hobby, you can, but otherwise AI and robots will take care of everything. and the service you want.”
The importance of truthfulness in AI
Musk stressed the need to train artificial intelligence to be truthful rather than politically correct. He stated: “I think it’s very significant that AI is trained to be truthful, not politically correct. Because if political correctness is often simply not true, and that means you are programming as a lie. I think it will backfire very badly.” Musk expressed concern that regulators may not make the right decisions and focus too much on human error. He urged regulators to prioritize the accuracy and veracity of artificial intelligence.
Elon Musk’s position on aliens
Despite the humor, Musk touched on the earnest topic of extraterrestrial life, saying, “If I ever saw evidence of aliens, I would immediately share it on the X platform.” This statement reflects his openness to the idea of alien life and his commitment to transparency.
