#1. Joe Rogan and Elon Musk discuss future of AI

Joe Rogan and Elon Musk recently weighed in on what the future of the human race may look like with AI, if the development continues at its current rate.

Speaking on episode #2281 of the Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC commentator posed a number of questions to the SpaceX CEO, including asking for his opinion on what the future may look like if humans continue to rely on AI.

According to Musk, whilst there would certainly be benefits, there is a chance it could spell a dim future. He explained:

"I think the probability of the [good] outcome is 80% likely...Only 20% chance of annihilation...I think it's [the future of AI] either going to be super awesome or super bad...If there's a super oppressive woke nanny AI that's omnipotent, that would be a miserable outcome. It just executes you if you misgender someone. That's one of the possible outcomes so we don't want to have that one."
