Elon Musk’s AI comments send tremours through the artificial intelligence market, and Microsoft and ChatGPT are in his cross-hairs.
Several grandiose claims about AI continue circulating on the internet; lately, many of them have come from Elon Musk.
“AI is potentially more dangerous than nukes,” is one of his oft-quoted statements.
Elon had high hopes for OpenAI, co-founding ChatGPT in 2015 and taking the wheel alongside CEO Sam Altman.
Let’s explore why Elon now thinks he’s the Oracle of Delphi
Elon Musk’s Dire Warning on ChatGPT
In 2019, OpenAI and Microsoft began their partnership with a $1 billion investment. This year, they’ve deepened their alliance with a $10 billion deal, integrating OpenAI’s tech into Microsoft’s Bing and Edge. OpenAI keeps its innovations tightly guarded, sharing little and ensuring they alone profit from the AI revolution.
ChatGPT will argue the opposite if asked:
“OpenAI is a research organization that focuses on developing advanced artificial intelligence technologies. While some of their research is proprietary, they also make significant efforts to promote open-source and collaborate with the wider research community,” ChatGPT writes.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk is calling BS.
At last year’s World Government Summit in Dubai, which took place last week, Elon called for AI safety protocols and warned that AI is “one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization.”
“They are training an AI to lie”
This is bad. This is wrong.

It echoes his statements on a Joe Rogan podcast four years ago: “I tried to convince people to slow down AI. To regulate AI. This was futile,” Elon says. “How long did it take for seatbelts to be required? The auto industry successfully fought seatbelts for more than a decade.”
According to Elon, if you thought social media algorithms were opaque, AI is a thousand times more of a black box.
Will world governments take Elon’s advice seriously and monitor the rapid advancement of AI? It’s hard to say.
Elon Musk’s Final Concerns About AI
Elon has a few more concerns about AI:
- How will we know what images, videos, and news are genuine and not faked through AI?
- What if someone calls your bank or family pretending to be you using voice AI?
- When will content creators and workers be priced out of emerging AI technology?
- How can we stop AI from being used to spread misinformation on the internet?
Isaac Asimov had the right idea regarding robots and artificial intelligence.
We must set rules and regulations to ensure they are used ethically — and those laws should be put to a public consensus. Or at the very least, let us hire representatives on our behalf. You know, like a democracy.
