Ted Cruz Says Elon Musk Put AI Extinction Risk at 10% to 20%
US Senator Ted Cruz says Elon Musk once estimated a 10% to 20% chance that artificial intelligence could eventually destroy humanity. Cruz said the Tesla and SpaceX chief made the remark during a January conversation on his podcast. According to Cruz, Musk suggested that a catastrophic AI scenario could emerge within the next five to 10 years. Cruz also cited recent warnings from a former AI researcher, who argued that some developers are moving too quickly towards more powerful and potentially self-improving systems. These remain personal assessments of AI risk, not established predictions of what will happen.
