Walter Isaacson revealed that during a conversation in Austin, Musk expressed his intent to start a new AI company, motivated by distrust toward Sam Altman. He believes having multiple AI developers could foster mutual oversight, even amidst conflicting views.
Isaacson noted that Musk's childhood fascination with science fiction, particularly Asimov's visions of potentially hostile robots, drives his passion. Musk holds onto a mission to shield humanity from dangerous AI and emphasizes the need for multi-planetary existence.
Musk has articulated a significant concern over AI, estimating a 10-20% chance of it endangering humanity, yet remains optimistic about its potential benefits. His journey into AI development is fueled by a blend of caution and aspiration.
