Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence (AI) will take over all our work and in the future, doing work will be “optional,” according to a CNN report. Musk, owner of AI company xAI, said this development is not necessarily a bad thing. He said humans will continue to play a role in an AI-led world.
“None of us will probably have a job,” Musk said of artificial intelligence at VivaTech 2024 in Paris.
“If you want to do hobby-like work, you can do it. But otherwise AI and robots will deliver whatever goods and services they want,” said Musk, who has shared clips of Optimus, also known as Tesla Bot, several times.
Musk also wonders whether people will feel emotionally fulfilled in a future free from work.
“The question will really be about meaning – can computers and robots do everything better than you, does your life have meaning?” “I really think that maybe humans still have a role in this because we can make AI meaningful,” he said.
“There is no shortage of goods and services.”
But for this scenario to work, he said what was needed was a “universal high income,” not a universal basic income, which refers to the government giving everyone a set amount of money regardless of their employment.
“There would be no shortage of goods and services,” he added.
As artificial intelligence capabilities boost, consumers continue to adapt to changing technology. At the same time, regulators and companies are considering how to exploit this technology responsibly.
Other technology executives, such as Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, makers of ChatGPT, and CEO of Google, have suggested that AI will eliminate some jobs but create more of different types.
