Re: Elon Musk says Mark Zuckerberg's understanding of AI is 'limited'
#12Musk is being very generous in his assessment.
From my perspective, Mark has always seemed like a controlled thinker - including controlling his actions, behaviour, etc. in a very fixed way. In contrast, Elon's always seemed to be a holistic thinker, starting from founding principles and then understanding what his actions will lead to. Elon's openness to thought leads me to believe his thinking style would lead to understanding how AI could evolve better than Mark's more controlling behaviour.

#13I don't trust Zuckerberg on any issue in which Facebook has much to gain from one side. We all know how much money he'd like to make by having some AI programs follow us around 24/7.

#14Wow. Mark used an example of self-driving cars being good for humanity as his example of why AI will pose no danger; to make a point about his perspective in a feud with the guy that is leading self-driving car revolution pointing out that AI could potentially be dangerous. I hold great concerns for Facebook's future.

#15I would love to see a new Jobs Gates style rivalry. Maybe Musk - Zuckerberg?
How about Elon vs Musk?

#16Elon Musk's recent comments on the topic makes me say that his understanding of AI is similarly 'limited'...
Re: Elon Musk says Mark Zuckerberg's understanding of AI is 'limited'
#17Seems this pivots on a disagreement of AI as a risk
Musk seems very anxious of existential threats-- it isn't surprising he may overestimate the danger of AI
It also comes off as very monkey-centric. Is it so bad if human intelligence isn't what proliferates the future? Perhaps AI is a kind of memetic evolution for our culture, evolving into a form of life which can achieve sustenance with much less waste

#18Zuckerberg sells / appeals to a mass-audience who needs reassurance that AI will not take over the world and murder their grandkids.
Musk sells / appeals to techies, and those seeking to embrace cutting edge technology and are not scared by "AI is dangerous" talk.
Different audience, different messaging.
Re: Elon Musk says Mark Zuckerberg's understanding of AI is 'limited'
#19Is there any particular reason to think that Musk's understanding of AI isn't also "limited"? I don't recall him being known as an AI researcher.
I mean, there's no doubt he's smart, even brilliant... but being brilliant in one field doesn't necessarily mean you are an expert in others.
