Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, X, Elon Musk predicts that human destiny will truly be threatened by increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI).
He predicts that AI will be smarter than the smartest humans in the world by 2026.
In a long interview on X Musk said the only obstacle to developing AI is the availability of electricity. He also boasted that the latest version of AI Grok made by his xAI startup would begin training next May.
“If you ask when AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will be smarter than the smartest humans, I think it can be seen next year or in the next two years,” said Musk when asked about AGI developments, quoted by Reuters, Wednesday (10/4/2024) .
Musk said another obstacle to Grok AI was the lack of an advanced chip that supports Gork version 2 model training.
Musk introduced xAI last year to challenge the dominance of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT which he also co-founded.
Musk said training the Gork 2 model required 20,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. Meanwhile, Grok 3 training will require around 100,000 H100 chips.
Although advanced chips are also an obstacle, Musk believes that electricity limitations will have more of an impact in the next 1-2 years.
