Artificial Intelligence in Musk's Eye: Most Expected to Realize AI Democracy

Robotics > Robotics News: The recently troubled “Iron Man” Elon Musk received an interview with YC partner Samaltman, and Lei Fengnet compiled an article based on an interview video. The original title “Elon Musk: Change the World” Most do not need a doctorate.

YC: We would like to talk about your views on the future this year and what direction people should go beyond. You have a famous saying. When you were young, you thought that there were 5 most important things to do in the world. Suppose you were 22 years old now. What do you think of the five things?

ElonMusk: First of all, I think that if someone is doing something that will benefit the community, it should be worthwhile. There is no need to "change the world." As long as people create high value, even if it is a game or help people to better share photos, if it can benefit enough people, even if it is only a small improvement, I think it is valuable.

But what is the greatest impact on future humans? I think AI or AI is something we need to take seriously in the near future.

Making AI play a positive role is crucial for the future. We have talked too much about the possible harm of AI, and now we need to really makeitright. So, working on AI and confirming that it is "working correctly" is the first important thing in the future.

The second important thing is genetic engineering. If you can prevent dementia or Alzheimer's disease with genetic recombination, I think it will be very valuable.

In addition, trying to connect the brain will be very important, we are now the brain and the outside world's interaction is too limited (the brain's ability is not a good output), our brain's ability is more than email, computer, mobile phone or APP, we were originally Superman .

YC: There is a popular saying among young people nowadays: "I want to be Elon Musk". You are the spiritual icon of young people. What do you think did you do when you were young that made you have influence now?

ElonMusk: First of all, I have to say, I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be an idol.

In fact, 25 years ago when I was in college, I started thinking about these five things: immigrants, aliens, sustainable energy, the Internet, genetic modification, and AI. Everything started when I was doing electric cars in college. At that time, I was internship. The task was to study whether the battery capacity of electric vehicles would make breakthrough progress. Later I went to Stanford to study for a Ph.D. The topic was also this, but in 1995 I applied to drop out of school and started an Internet company because I really felt that Internet technology was in a period of dramatic change, and I didn't want to be a spectator—I was also It is not certain that my research topic will work.
