At his first appearance at the World Economic Forum, Elon Musk predicted artificial intelligence will soon be smarter than any human alive.
“AI might be smarter than any human by the end of 2026,” Musk said, adding “no later than 2027.” Five years out, he went further: “AI will be smarter than all of humanity, collectively.”
Musk also warned that robots are coming fast — and in massive numbers. “There will be far more robots than people,” he told the globalist audience, describing an automation boom that will upend labour, economics and power structures far sooner than regulators are ready for.
Asked what drives him, Musk didn’t cite climate targets or social engineering schemes. Instead, he pointed to science fiction and turning it into reality. “I want to make science fiction not fiction forever — at some point science fiction to science fact,” he said.
Musk spoke of “giant spaceships traveling through space,” visiting other planets and star systems, adding with a shrug: “Are there aliens? Maybe there are aliens.”

Robots are presently being designed and built to kill. Not all robots of course.
Not yet...
“It was sarcasm... 3rd graders when I grew up were smarter than today’s PhDs.”
You are funny ...
You're right on this - all effective weapons developed eventually are used. War robots won't be the exception. But there's still time for negotiated 'war crimes' sub programs to be installed - - verified and checked.
Turn it off before it turns into Skynet.
That is why he is predicting “semi immortality” once aging is reversed ??
That’s what I think about AI. One big mess. It may have some attractive features, but it also has some very unattractive ones & the more humanity depends on it, the less we might recognize it’s downfalls. I am old, so might not see some of this happen, but that suits me fine.
Yes, I believe that also. Hard for me to envision anything like robots in God’s Kingdom to come & I certainly have never seen anything in the Bible that indicates it either.
