Elon Musk Warns of "Civilization-Level Risks" Posed by Super-Powerful AI

## Elon Musk Raises Concerns About Super-Powerful AI

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has taken to social media to express his concerns about the potential dangers of super-powerful artificial intelligence (AI). His comments come in response to a post by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, who warned of the "civilization-level risks" posed by AI.

Musk's concerns are particularly significant given his prominent role in the development and implementation of AI technology. His warnings add to the ongoing debate about the ethical and societal implications of AI, especially as it becomes increasingly integrated into various aspects of our lives.

These remarks follow Musk's recent comments about the potential dangers of AI being trained to lie for political correctness. He has also previously acknowledged AI as the greatest potential breakthrough in our lifetime, with a caveat that there is a small chance it could "kill us all."

These warnings coincide with reports that Musk's AI startup, xAI Corp., is seeking significant funding. Musk has also made predictions about the impact of AI on jobs and income, envisioning a "universal high income" as jobs are phased out.
