SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Monday (May 6) said he sees great potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance human civilisation, but not when it comes to space travel.
"Oddly enough, one of the areas where there's almost no AI used is space exploration," Musk told attendees of the 27th annual Milken Institute Global Conference.
"I'll ask it questions about the Fermi paradox, about rocket engine design, about electrochemistry. And so far the AI has been terrible at all those questions. So there's still a long way to go."
Asked about the potential threat from artificial intelligence, Musk said AI must be programmed to be "truth-seeking" and "maximally curious," but warned human or "biological" intelligence will ultimately account for less than 1% of all intelligence, with AI accounting for the rest. -Report from Reuters

Has AI Subtitles
* AI ("Artificial Intelligence") subtitles on Tagalog.com are generated using "Whisper" by OpenAI (the same company that created ChatGPT and DallE2). Results and accuracy may vary.
* The subtitles do include errors occasionally and should only be used as a tool to help with your listening practice.
* You can request this website to create a transcript for a video if one doesn't already exist by clicking the "Request AI Subtitles" button below a video. Transcribing usually takes 30-40% of the length of a video to complete if there are no other videos in
the queue. For example, a 21 minute video will take 7-8 minutes to transcribe.
* Running a super fast cloud GPU server to do these transcriptions does cost money. If you have the desire and financial ability, consider

So, Ilan, you know, a lot of times you say things, me or you, and they edit them.
00:07.6
So, I noticed this panel description was a conversation...
00:13.1
I mean, AI might be the most important question of all.
00:18.9
I mean, the percentage of intelligence that is biological, you know, grows smaller with each passing month.
00:27.7
Eventually, the percentage of intelligence that is biological will be less than 1%.
00:34.7
That's actually not what... I mean, we just, I guess, don't want AI that is brittle.
00:42.3
If the AI is somehow brittle, you know, silicon circuit boards don't do well just out in the elements.
00:51.7
So, I think biological intelligence can serve as a...
00:57.7
a backstop, as a buffer of intelligence.
01:02.0
But almost all... as a percentage, almost all intelligence will be digital.
01:10.0
So, then, it's like, well, what role will there be for us?
01:18.2
So, I do think it's very important that we build the AI in a way that...
01:27.7
that is beneficial to humanity.
01:31.8
And there's some important principles here.
01:35.5
Because I thought about AI safety for a very long time.
01:40.5
I think you want to have a maximum truth-seeking AI.
01:44.5
This is very important.
01:46.2
The AI should not be taught to lie.
01:48.6
It should not be taught to say things that are not true.
01:53.1
Even if those things are politically incorrect, it should still say those...
01:56.7
say what it believes to be true.
01:57.7
So, it's very important to have a maximum truth-seeking AI and a maximally curious AI.
02:05.5
And I think that's most likely to foster human civilization because we are much more interesting than a bunch of rocks.
02:16.3
So, although I think Mars... I love Mars, obviously.
02:19.7
But you could render Mars quite easily because it kind of looks like a section of the Arizona desert.
02:27.2
You know, it's like...
02:27.7
red rocks, you know.
02:30.0
But the rendering complexity of human civilization is vastly greater by many orders of magnitude.
02:36.3
So, I think an AI would be...
02:39.1
that is truth-seeking, maximally curious, would foster human civilization to see where it goes.
02:48.0
One of the areas where there's almost no AI used is space exploration.
02:54.1
So, SpaceX uses basically no AI.
02:57.7
Starlink uses... does not use AI.
03:00.0
I'm not against using it.
03:01.4
It's just we haven't seen a use for it.
03:04.5
I mean, with any given variant of...
03:08.6
or improvement in AI,
03:10.2
I mean, there's generally...
03:14.2
like, I'll ask it questions about the Fermi paradox,
03:19.5
about rocket engine design,
03:22.1
about electrochemistry.
03:24.1
And so far, the AI has been terrible at all those questions.
03:27.7
So, there's still a long way to go.
03:32.4
That you agree with some of your own quotes.
03:34.9
Yeah, that's great.
03:36.3
Thank you very much.
