- Elon Musk once again emphasized that artificial intelligence or AI will replace the role of humans. He gave his views at the Viva Technology conference, Paris, about what the future of humanity will be amidst technological progress. At the conference Musk was asked whether he was worried about losing his job to AI, and what he would do if that happened.
As is known, the billionaire holds several roles as CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink, as well as owner of the social media platform X.
"Maybe none of us will have a job," answered Musk, quoted by NYPost, Monday (27/5/2024).
"There will be a universal high income, and not a universal basic income. There will be no shortage of goods or services," he added.
In his opinion, there is an 80% chance that advances in AI will result in a situation where humans do not need jobs and have everything they need.
"The question would be very meaningful, if a computer could do any job better than you, would your life have meaning?" Musk said.
"In a negative scenario, everything no longer has meaning because we are in big trouble (due to AI)," he said.
Musk has predicted previously that AI will eventually become so advanced that it will eliminate the need for humans to work.
"I think we're seeing the most disruptive force in history here," Musk said about AI while sitting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the inaugural AI Security Summit in London some time ago.
"It's hard to say exactly what that moment will be, but there will come a time when there will be no need for work," he said.
"You can get a job if you want to have a job, some kind of personal satisfaction, but AI will be able to do everything," he emphasized.

- Elon Musk sekali lagi menegaskan bahwa kecerdasan buatan atau AI akan menggantikan peran manusia.
Ia memberikan pandangannya di konferensi Viva Technology, Paris, tentang bagaimana masa depan manusia di tengah kemajuan teknologi. Dalam konferensi itu Musk ditanya apakah dia khawatir akan kehilangan pekerjaannya karena AI, dan apa yang akan dia lakukan jika hal itu terjadi.
Seperti diketahui, miliarder itu memegang beberapa peran sebagai CEO Tesla, SpaceX dan Neuralink, serta pemilik platform media sosial X.
"Mungkin tidak ada di antara kita yang akan memiliki pekerjaan," jawab Musk, dikutip dari NYPost, Senin (27/5/2024). "Akan ada pendapatan tinggi universal, dan bukan pendapatan dasar universal. Tidak akan ada kekurangan barang atau jasa," imbuhnya. Menurut pendapatnya, ada kemungkinan 80% kemajuan AI akan menghasilkan situasi di mana manusia tidak membutuhkan pekerjaan dan memiliki semua yang mereka butuhkan.
"Pertanyaannya akan sangat bermakna, jika komputer dapat melakukan segala pekerjaan lebih baik dari Anda, apakah hidup Anda memiliki makna?" kata Musk.
"IDalam skenario negatif, semua hal tak lagi bermakna karena kita berada dalam masalah besar (akibat AI)," ujarnya.
Musk telah memperkirakan sebelumnya bahwa AI pada akhirnya akan menjadi begitu canggih sehingga menghilangkan kebutuhan manusia untuk bekerja.
"Saya pikir kita melihat kekuatan yang paling mengganggu dalam sejarah di sini," kata Musk tentang AI saat duduk bersama Perdana Menteri Inggris Rishi Sunak pada KTT Keamanan AI perdana di London beberapa waktu yang lalu.
"Sulit untuk mengatakan dengan pasti momen apa itu, tetapi akan tiba saatnya di mana tidak diperlukan lagi pekerjaan," kata dia. "Anda bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan jika Anda ingin memiliki pekerjaan, semacam kepuasan pribadi, tetapi AI akan mampu melakukan segalanya," ia menegaskan.
