Elon Musk has revisited his evaluation of the risks associated with artificial intelligence, acknowledging that there is a possibility that AI could pose a threat to humanity, with estimates ranging from 10% to 20%. Despite this risk, Musk remains convinced that the potential benefits of AI outweigh the potential negative consequences, emphasizing the need for a cautious approach.

While Musk's stance on pursuing AI development aligns with a belief in the positive impact it could have, AI safety experts like Roman Yampolskiy caution that the risks should be taken more seriously. Yampolskiy expresses concern that the probability of AI leading to a catastrophic event is significantly higher than Musk's assessment, advocating for a more cautious approach to AI development to mitigate potential dangers.

Yampolskiy underscores the extreme risk associated with advanced AI, suggesting that once created, it would be challenging to control, leading him to believe that the best course of action is to avoid building it altogether. Despite Musk's advocacy for AI regulation, his establishment of xAI, a company dedicated to advancing AI technology, raises questions about the potential consequences of unchecked AI development and the need for appropriate safety measures.
