Billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday warned a Saudi investor forum about the dangers of artificial intelligence models he said were "woke" and "nihilistic" rather than "maximally truth-seeking". Musk said he was optimistic about the technology but warned about the politics he said was being baked into models developed in the United States.
"It tends to be trained to be politically correct, and for a lot of AIs that are being trained in the San Francisco Bay Area, they have taken on the philosophy of the people around them, which kind of makes sense," he said.
"You have a woke, nihilistic philosophy that has been built into these AIs and they are being taught to say crazy things in some cases that are very troubling." In one case, he said, an AI model concluded that misgendering reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner was more dangerous than nuclear war.
