Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, have both published open letters expressing their concerns over the development of artificial intelligence that is able to match or surpass human intelligence. The disagreement between the two men largely centers around the best way to prevent the possible negative consequences of this development. While the open letter calls for a six-month pause in the development of AI systems that can compete with human intelligence, many in the tech industry, including Gates, believe that this is not a feasible solution. Instead, they believe that more research is needed to identify the tricky areas where AI technology could go wrong. One potential solution that has been proposed is increased government regulation of AI technology.
