Eight years ago this summer, Elon Musk took the stage on a Meeting of the National Association of Governors Before the two-handed audience conceived of his billions and visions for the future.
Musk, which appeared on the call then-Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, republican known for his moderate politics, warned of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Teslin director and Spacex founder also called on the stricter regulation of the government in the formation of technology.
“I’m guarding the alarm bell,” Musk Governors said. “But until people see robots who don’t lower the streets killing people, they don’t know how to react because it seems so ethereal.”
Although musk flashed some overcoming – his prediction that in 10 years almost all cars produced were autonomous, not close to materialization – there are also memorable notes. As Often then returnedMusk positioned that the Tesla’s share price is too high.
Careful and pragmatic tone of musk, which in 2017, in 2017. It reminded the destructive and omnipresent force, which he became in great technology and in the second administration of Donald Trump. There were other elements that predicted the modern political person Musk: His frustrations over the media covered his business practices and his broader criticism of government unwillingness to cancel the regulations, for example, for example.
But the same musk that once worried about the AI weapons later bought Twitter, rebranded the site of the social media as XI paired with AI software that expands unfounded political stain and conspiracy theories. The man who raised public expectations about cars and space for independent guidance, and solimizing expectations for Tesmani Shareholders since then they pushed to compensate based on $ 50 billion.
And Musk, who also served that “live quite comfortably in the world who would George Orwell think that he was super crazy”, now serving as “a special government worker” with almost unprecedented land and control.
Stressed by Trump, he monitors disorientation and quick relocation of the costs to reduce costs and fire federal employees under the umbrella of the newly created government efficiency or dog. Those who implement musk vision use AI tools to identify cost savings, as reported New York Times, Washington Post and second.
In a Quinnipiac University survey Published this week, 55% of the registered voters of the research said that musk has too much power “in making decisions affecting the United States.”
“God, no,” said the former Virginia Gov. Terry Mcauliffe, Democrat, NBC News When asked whether it is imagining musk ever assuming that such a highlights of the White House is also prominent.
“Everyone wants waste in the government,” McAuliffe added. “But I wish they would set up a more thought process in the cut process. If you pick up sledgehammer to funding, there are things that will have real consequences on our country.”
McAuliffe, who taught the Presidency of the National Association (NGA) in 2017 in Providence, Rhode Iceland, was the only governor among almost 20 present that years to answer any detailed memory of musk. Others recalled the question and answered session, but they said they considered it relentless and otherwise refused to comment on musk in politics.
“I remember Elon Male speaking at the NGA meeting and that he is concerned about AI. I’m sorry I can not remember anything more than that, nor do I remember asking the question,” the former South Dakota Gov. Dennis Dakoard, Republican, wrote in e-mail. Asked musk on the event If lower gas prices have negatively affected the sale of electric vehicles.
Scott Pattison, who then served as the executive director of the NGA, said that he did not remember his speech, and claimed that he was not invited to be fire.
“I’ll say that we would never have musk that we didn’t think it was noticed and So supporting one political candidate and ideology, “Pattison wrote in e-mail.” It shows how much changed and musk left a business person’s political actor. “
White house spokesman did not answer the comment request.
“Main event” for two-piece governors
Sandoval, who shouted Oven for an incentive of 1.25 billion dollars to land a Tesla factory for Nevada, brought into musk to help start The initiative of his chairmanfocused on technology and innovation. The appearance of musk in a two-hand conference was a very hyper hyper and served as the closing of the meeting.
“Now for the main event”, Sandoval applied colleagues while welcoming musk. “I think everyone was waiting for me to finish, so we can get to Elon. I’m really thrilled to meet a man who is probably a personification of technological innovation.”
Sandoval, which rejected a comment request for this article, then made a point for removing his ties after business casual musk arrived on the stage with an open collar.
“Is that okay if I do?” Sandoval asked musk.
With Casual, hospitable Vibeški set, Sandovali mitigated in Q & A. (“What drives you?”) Offered friendly instructions. (“Talk a little more about … Do the life of multiplanetary.”) He asked her musk to respond to the criticism of tax breaks like these Sandval in Nevada in Nevada were pushed in Nevada.
“These incentives were a little overestimated,” said Musk, insisting that he was not aware of his full value to the press conference to announce the agreement. “They took what they were added for over 20 years and made it sound like Nevada wrote $ 1.3 billion a check. And I’m still waiting for that check. Was you getting lost in the mail? But you know, this is to which the Tips are doing, of course. ”
Sandoval also asked musk so that the governors should think about innovations when developing public policy. Musk replied with a warning that long-term regulations can inhibit innovation.
“It is always important to keep in mind that regulations are immortal, and they never die, unless someone really leaves and kills them,” Musk said. “And then they get a lot of momentum. So, many times can be established for all the right reasons, but then no one remembers and does not resolve them after that, when they no longer make sense.”
‘The pen is mightier than a sword’
Despite the concerns of musk about the competition, he called for the “proactive” regulation of AI in response to the Sandvalovski question about the future where robots replace human labor force.
The stock exchange led to the objection of musk on threats seemingly remotely on the distance most people, short of the robot killer. He also led to musk aside in connection with the air trip regulation. Comments have the new relevance of the data on how the musk dode portfolio includes a federal aviation administration that regulates Spacex. Musk’s Spacex team helps learn improving air traffic control systems, Sean Duffy has posted Sunday. Meanwhile, the trump card in the meantime fired hundreds of employees of FAA this week.
“You know, if you ask an average person,” Hey, do you want to get rid of FAA and simple, like, use the chance of manufacturers without cutting corners in the planes, because they crashed that quarter? ” “… like, hell. No. sounds awful,” he said musk governors in 2017. years.
He continued, “I think even people who are quite extremely liberty, free market, they would be like” Yes, we should probably be careful on air companies, keeps up with good aircraft and good cars and such a thing. ‘”
Musk, which in later years would Call for the Federal Department of Monitoring AI developmentlast week invited The federal government to “delete the entire agencies”.
McAuliffe recalled a musky call for proactive and regulation as timely, if he disturbed.
“You always want to bring someone that is correct, and who is better than Elon?” McAuliffe said. “On the one hand, very futuristic. On the other hand, he scared a lot of governors in the room.”
McAuliff added: “He was very, very dark as he is in relation to the problem of AI.”
The sessions of the most unknown Exchanging and came when other governors had the opportunity to ask questions. Then-Colorado Gov. John HickenLooper, Democrat, crossed Musk in particular on his claim that AI presented “the basic risk for the existence of human civilization”.
The musk first answered the prediction that the AI ”could start the war by doing fake news and sound accounts and false press releases and only manipulating information.
“Pencil,” he added, “is more powerful than the sword.”
The musk then offered an elaborate scenario based on the attack for 2014. On the flight of Malaysia Airlines, which was demolished by the Russian rocket pitcher across the eastern Ukraine.
“I want to emphasize, I don’t think that happened, this is purely hypothetical – I’m digging the grave here,” Moshus said, laughing with the audience.
Continued: “If you have ai … where the goal was to maximize the value of the stock portfolio, one way to maximize the value would be long on defense, short for consumers. And then how can it do? Well, you know, hack On a choir to route the aircraft of the Malay Airline, move over the war zone, then send an anonymous advice that does not fly the enemy plane at the moment. “
