Introduction
Elon Musk, co-founder of the firm behind ChatGPT, recently spoke out about the impact of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) on our civilization. At the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Musk warned that A.I. is one of the biggest risks to humanity. His comments come as ChatGPT has shown just how advanced A.I. has become. With Musk at the forefront of this discussion, it is clear that the development of A.I. will have a huge effect on our future.

As seen by the creation of , Elon Musk cautioned that artificial intelligence poses “one of the biggest hazards to the future of civilisation.” He emphasised that while AI has immense potential, it also carries great risk, and he made the case that we need to govern AI safety.
He added that OpenAI was founded because he felt Google was not paying enough attention to AI security. Musk thinks that even though regulation would slightly slow down AI, it is necessary and might be advantageous. As ChatGPT gains popularity, its sophisticated, human-like writing is also posing a rising challenge to the employment market. To counter this risk, he resigned from the board of OpenAI in 2018 and no longer owns stock in the business.
Musk cautions that although “AI has been sophisticated for a long,” it has not yet had an accessible user interface due to its capacity for making judgements on its own. In light of this assertion, it is more crucial than ever to regulate AI safety in order to avoid such detrimental effects on society.
What are the implications of what he said?

Given the creation of ChatGPT, Elon Musk’s cautions regarding the possible risks of artificial intelligence (AI) have become even more significant. People can now see just how sophisticated AI has become thanks to this technology, which, in Musk’s opinion, calls for regulation.
He noted that we must ensure that AI growth is kept in check and that it be regulated because it “is actually a bigger risk to civilization than vehicles, planes, or medicine.”
Musk added that one of the reasons he founded OpenAI was because he felt Google was not paying enough attention to AI security. Since then, he has resigned from the OpenAI board and no longer owns stock in the organisation, but his cautions regarding the dangers of AI are still relevant. We should all pay attention to what he said and acknowledge that the development of AI is a serious matter that needs careful examination and regulation if we want to prevent any negative outcomes.
Given that technology has such broad effects, we cannot allow it to operate unchecked. It will be interesting to watch what safeguards are put in place as businesses continue to create new AI-powered products like ChatGPT. We must all play a part in making sure that any developments are carried out with the utmost regard and care for our civilisation, that much is certain.
