The business magnate and angel investor said, “If it tried to understand the true nature of the universe, that’s actually the best thing that I can come up with from an AI safety standpoint. I think it is going to be pro-humanity from the standpoint that humanity is just much more interesting than not-humanity.”

Earlier, Elon Reeve Musk predicted that a smarter AI than humans will arrive in five or six years. He predicted that artificial intelligence will eventually surpass human intelligence. 

A recent study by Autotrader company Vanarama revealed that Musk-owned Tesla’s new chip will be “more intelligent” than humans by 2033. Tesla’s microchip reportedly has processing capability equivalent to 36 per cent of a human brain.

Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, however, he stepped down from the company’s board in 2018. Musk’s new AI firm is already recruiting experienced engineers and researchers.
