Elon Musk Says Tesla Robots Could Achieve AGI

Musk is going to build the world's first sentient robots, but he has a way to avoid a "Terminator"-esque catastrophe.

It may sound like a bit of a stretch, but that doesn't mean the CEO of both companies doesn't believe it will happen. He claimed out of the blue that his car company's recently-teased humanoid robot, Optimus, might play a role in bringing about artificial general intelligence.

Musk said that the company might play a role in AGI, given that it trains against the outside world.

This is a translation for those not steeped in the language. The research and development department of the company is tasked with making the company's self-driving cars smarter.

Musk said that the car's artificial intelligence will incorporate information and data from its surroundings in real-time, and become even smarter once the robots are launched.

It is not known when the grand entrance will be made byTesla's Optimus. We have only seen a performer in a spandex suit dancing on stage at the company.

The realization of AGI is likely years off, but recent advances in machine learning have experts talking.

Last year, for instance, former Google executive Mo Gawat warned that bloodthirsty robots like Skynet from "The Terminator" series are inevitable, in line with Musk's own belief that sentient robots "are coming anyway."

Musk responded to a fan who asked about the potential for AGI to go awry by saying that he would do his best to keep it in check and that decentralized control of the robots would be critical.

The world's richest man remained quiet on the details despite the assurance.

The man whose mission is to make humans a multiplanetary species is making AGI rallying cries. There is more reason to be concerned over an event.

Scientists say that Blockchains fit some definitions of life.

Musk says the Metaverse will be better.
