Elon Musk Gives Dire Warning Over ‘AI’ Manipulating Social Media

Elon Musk is now openly warning about the dangers of ‘advanced AI’ possibliy being used to manipulate social media. As Fox News reports:

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has made it clear he thinks artificial intelligence is “humanity’s biggest risk,” even going so far as to say it could cause World War III. Musk took his caution to another level on Thursday, noting that “advanced AI” will be used to manipulate social media.

“If advanced AI (beyond basic bots) hasn’t been applied to manipulate social media, it won’t be long before it is,” Musk tweeted on Thursday morning. He followed that by tweeting that anonymous bots need to be investigated further.

It’s unclear what prompted Musk to tweet about anonymous bots, accounts that are created on social media that are often difficult to trace back to a specific person or origin. Russia’s Internet Research Agency was indicted in 2018 for creating bots to spread upheaval and misinformation campaigns during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Musk himself is often the target of fake social media accounts, including ones on this thread. One such account, found here, has the same avatar as Musk and is asking users to visit a website to win a “prize.”

Is Musk right that we should be opposing a potential takeover from artificial intelligence, or is he off his rocker?
