Elon Musk praises Tesla's AI achievements on Twitter

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, on Thursday responded to the achievements of his company on the artificial intelligence front on Twitter.

It is not like we didn't see it coming, Musk said in response to a Twitter user listing the various accomplishments of the EV maker in artificial intelligence.

Tesla's self-driving software is being developed by Tesla, with hundreds of thousands of customers paying for its full self-driving software and it's working on its humanoid bot, the user said.

Tesla's work in AI is awe-inspiring. They've been investing in this for a long time, the user wrote. When I first tried the Autopilot, that's actually what got me interested in Tesla. The evolution has been unprecedented, the user said. At Tesla's annual shareholder meeting earlier this month, Tesla showed off the progress of the Tesla Bot walking and completing basic tasks. Tesla is now providing them with more complex tasks. Tesla said it has now collectively driven 190 million miles.

Musk has voiced his opposition to AI's rapid progress. In March, more than 1000 tech experts, including Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn and Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp, signed an open letter calling for an immediate pause in AI developments more powerful than OpenAI's GPT 4 to be halted until safety protocols for such designs are created, executed and evaluated by independent experts.
