Elon Musk tweets AI and social media

Tesla founder Elon Musk warned that advanced artificial intelligence would be used to manipulate social media, if not already done.

"If advanced AI (beyond basic robots) has not been applied to manipulate social media, it will not be long before," Musk tweeted early Thursday.

Musk, whose manufacturing company has heavily invested in autonomous vehicle technology, has long predicted the dangers of artificial intelligence, even claiming that a single company developing a "super intelligence worthy of God" could reach to the domination of the world.

"At least when there is an evil dictator, this human will die," Musk said in the documentary "Do you trust your computer?" For artificial intelligence, "there will be no death, it will live forever and then you will have an immortal dictator whom we could never escape," Musk warned.

"Artificial intelligence is not necessarily bad, but it will work outside of human control," he said in September 2018. "It's going to be very tempting to use the computer." AI as a weapon.It will be used as a weapon, "said Musk. . "On the serious AI, there will be more humans who will use it against each other. This will be the danger."

All those who use a large technological service already participate in the programming of artificial intelligence, he declared at the time, that they realize it or not.

"There is a kind of collective AI in a search on Google," said Musk at the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. "We all went to a big tree and we feed this network without questions or answers, we collectively program AI, and Google, and all the humans who connect to it, make up a gigantic cybernetic collective. This is also true for Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and other social networks. "
