ELON: YOU WOULDN’T FLY WITHOUT THE FAA - WHY TRUST AI WITHOUT RULES?
“Where there’s a lack of investment is in AI safety.
There should be a government agency that oversees anything related to AI to confirm that it does not represent a public safety risk.
Just as there is automotive safety and the FAA for aircraft safety, it’s important to have a government referee serving the public interest in ensuring that things are safe when there’s potential danger to the public.
AI is unequivocally something that has the potential to be dangerous, and therefore should have a regulatory agency, just as other things that are dangerous to the public have a regulatory agency.”

ELON: AI WON’T KILL YOU - IT’LL BRAINWASH YOU INSTEAD
“Probably a bigger risk than being hunted down by a drone is that AI would be used to make incredibly effective propaganda that would not seem like propaganda.
Influence the direction of society, influence elections.
Artificial intelligence just hones the message, looks at the feedback, and makes this message slightly better.
Within milliseconds, it can adapt its message and shift and react to news.
And there are so many social media accounts out there that are not people.
How do you know it's a person or not a person?”
