Musk's influence on Trump could lead to tougher AI standards, says scientist
Briefly

Tegmark emphasized that Elon Musk's influence could lead to significant safety standards in AI during a Trump administration, particularly concerning artificial general intelligence (AGI). He stated, "If Elon manages to get Trump's ear on AI issues we're more likely to get some form of safety standards, something that prevents AGI, He might help Trump understand that an AGI race is a suicide race." This highlights Tegmark's belief in Musk's potential to steer crucial policy changes.
Max Tegmark noted that Musk's support for the failed California AI bill SB 1047 signals his commitment to AI safety. He remarked, "Musk came out and said I'm for it, I want the regulation. I do think it's not completely implausible he could persuade Trump that AI needs to be regulated to ensure safety standards are in place, preventing harmful developments in the field." This underscores the importance of industry leaders advocating for regulations.
