Elon Musk Forecasts IQ Flip: AI Might Outsmart Humans by 2025 with a Touch of Wit!
“Elon Musk says AI may be smarter than humans by end 2025”
“Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind companies like SpaceX and Tesla, remarked in a recent interview that he believes artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence by the end of 2025.” Roll your eyes, folks, our favorite tech titan is at it again with his predictions.
Apparently, the business magnate has another prophecy on his hands, sharing with the world that by the end of 2025, AI could outsmart us all. Cocky calculators? Superior smartphones? Time will tell, but if we are to believe the prognostications of the PayPal papa, our silicon counterparts are about to get a major IQ boost.
Not to put a damper on anyone’s day, but it’s fair to mention that 2025 isn’t exactly light-years away. With that timeframe, Musk essentially suggests that we have about as long as an extended warranty on a toaster to prepare for an ‘AI-over-human’ scenario. Really comforting stuff, right?
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Musk has hinted at our potential silicon overlords. The guy loves sounding the alarm about AI, almost as much as he does landing rockets or picking feuds on Twitter. If there was a school for ‘screaming about AI’, Musk would probably be the headmaster.
He co-founded OpenAI, a research organization probing at the ethical implications of artificial, just to fuel his obsession. Fast forward a few years, Musk’s stepping down from the board isn’t enough to keep him quiet. The man simply can’t resist bantering about; whether it’s about flamethrowers, cryptocurrency, or AI.
Musk’s belief that AI might become ‘too smart’ may sound terrifying. But remember, his knack of predicting the future has more misses than hits. Who can forget his notorious declaration that Tesla would achieve Level 5 autonomy in their cars by 2020? (Hint: We’re still waiting…)
To conclude, whether you’re sitting at the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting our cybernetic overlords, or you’re staunchly in the ‘AI takeover is farfetched’ camp, it’s hard to ignore that we’re living in an interesting time. A time where the rapid advancement of technology both astounds and terrifies, a trend we fully anticipate to continue… at least until the end of 2025, according to Musk.
So, keep those seat belts fastened, everyone. According to our favorite fortune teller, it’s going to be an interesting ride!
