http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-says-ai-could-lead-to-robot-dictator-2018-4Artificial intelligence could spur the creation of a robot dictator that could rule mankind forever, the billionaire Elon Musk says in a new documentary.
"If one company or small group of people manages to develop god-like superintelligence, they could take over the world," Musk said in the film.
He continued: "At least when there's an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there will be no death — it would live forever. And then you would have an immortal dictator from which we could never escape."
He's basically saying governments or other entities could create a dangerous AI that could outlive human leaders and never be destroyed — and that one way to avoid this is to democratize AI."
