埃隆·马斯克：人工智能将会引发第三次世界大战

Elon Musk¹ has said again that artificial intelligence could be humanity's greatest existential threat, this time by starting a third world war. 

 

埃隆·马斯克再一次警告称，人工智能或将成为人类存亡的威胁，这次他指的是人工智能将会引发第三次世界大战。

 

The prospect² clearly weighs heavily on Musk's mind, since the SpaceX, Tesla and Boring Company chief tweeted at 2.33am Los Angeles time about how AI could lead to the end of the world. 

 

His fears were prompted by a statement from Vladimir Putin that "artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind … It comes with colossal³ opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."

 

Musk's fear of AI warfare⁴ has been a driving force in his public statements for a long time. Last month, he was one of more than 100 signatories calling for a UN-led ban of lethal⁵ autonomous⁶ weapons. 

 

"Once developed, lethal autonomous weapons will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend," the letter read. "These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked⁷ to behave in undesirable⁸ ways. 

 

"We do not have long to act. Once this Pandora’s box is opened, it will be hard to close."
