Infamous blogger Tim Urban elaborates on AI - a recommended read in addition to Martin Ford's The Rise of Robots. Here are the main three blogs:
The AI Revolution: The Road to Superintelligence
The AI Revolution: Immortality or Extinction
Elon Musk: The World Raddest Man
He is very, very concerned about AI. I quoted him in my posts on AI saying that he fears that by working to bring about Superintelligent AI (ASI), we’re “summoning the demon,” but I didn’t know how much he thought about the topic. He cited AI safety as one of the three things he thinks about most—the other two being sustainable energy and becoming a multi-planet species, i.e. Tesla and SpaceX. Musk is a smart motherfucker, and he knows a ton about AI, and his sincere concern about this makes me scared.
