Musk: Super AI May Not Dominate Humanity, Future Work and Money Will Lose Meaning

Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated in a conversation with Walter Isaacson, author of the biography of Steve Jobs, that the intelligence level of future Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) could reach thousands of times that of humans, but it is highly likely that it will not actively seek control over human society. He believes that humans are more likely to face the risk of being ignored by superintelligence. Musk emphasized that the development of AI should be centered around curiosity and the pursuit of truth, avoiding unpredictable behaviors caused by conflicting rules. Economically, Musk predicts that digital superintelligence will drive global economic output growth by 20% to 30%, equivalent to an annual addition of about $30 trillion. If humanoid robots and other embodied intelligences are widely applied and space resources are further developed, the global economy could theoretically expand by 1 million times. At that time, humans may no longer rely on labor for livelihood, and work will transform into personal interests, potentially diminishing the importance of traditional currency. Musk also predicts that AI is expected to surpass individual human intelligence between 2026 and 2027, and exceed the collective intelligence of all humanity by 2030 to 2031. The number of humanoid robots could reach at least 100 million in the next 5 years and exceed 1 billion within 10 years.
