"Musk stated that the only way to keep AI from 'killing us all' was to keep it out of the hands of anyone trying to make money on it. He acknowledged that his own AI company, xAI, is a for-profit, which raises questions about his stance on AI safety."
"Musk recounted a meeting with then-President Obama in 2015, where he expressed his fears about AI. He mentioned that he talked to 'anyone and everyone' about AI safety, highlighting the urgency he feels regarding the issue."
"OpenAI's lead counsel, William Savitt, challenged Musk's narrative, suggesting that Musk's concerns about AGI safety seemed to intensify when others were in control. Savitt questioned Musk's self-portrayal as a 'paladin of safety and regulation.'"
Musk testified that keeping AI out of profit-driven hands is essential to prevent potential dangers. He shared his concerns about AI's risks, recalling a meeting with President Obama in 2015 to discuss these fears. Musk emphasized that those developing artificial general intelligence should not be pressured to generate financial returns. In contrast, OpenAI's counsel suggested Musk's safety concerns were more about his own financial interests than genuine safety, questioning his self-portrayal as a champion of AI regulation.
