WILL A.I. DESTROY THE WORLD?
"I have exposure to the most cutting
edge AI, and I think people should be
really concerned by it," Musk said at the
National Governors Association. "AI is a
fundamental risk to the existence of
human civilization in a way that car
accidents, airplane crashes, faulty drugs
or bad food were not — they were
harmful to a set of individuals within
society, of course, but they were not
harmful to society as a whole.”
- Elon Musk
CEO of SpaceX
Co-Founder and Former CEO of Tesla, Inc.
Co-founder and CEO of Neuralink
Co-founder of PayPal

OR WILL IT SAVE IT?
AI innovation will also be central to the
achievement of the United
Nations' Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and will help solving
humanity's grand challenges by
capitalizing on the unprecedented
quantities of data now being generated
on sentiment behavior, human health,
commerce, communications, migration
and more. The Summit aimed to
accelerate and advance the development
and democratization of AI solutions that
can address specific global challenges
related to poverty, hunger, health,
education, the environment, and others.
