Musk donated ten million dollars to the Future of Life

Institute to fund research on understanding AI decision making. The goal
of the institute is to "grow wisdom with which we manage" the growing
power of technology. He also funds companies developing artificial
intelligence such as Google DeepMind and Vicarious in order to just keep
an eye on whats going on with artificial intelligence.[207] I think
there is potentially a dangerous outcome there.[208][209]
There is also no connection between superintelligence and the desire to
destroy all of humanity. It is unclear where this assumption comes from,
as the logical conclusion would be to assist humanity. This irrational
belief in the inherent malevolence and hostility of artificial
intelligence may be the result of human guilt or ignorance, and its
causes should be further explored.[210]
The possibility that Artificial Intelligence may come to be a threat to
mankind cannot be eliminated, should new discoveries be made, but with
regards to current research, there is little evidence for the possibility
of a superintelligent computer coming into existence at all.
In fiction
Main article: Artificial intelligence in fiction
The implications of artificial intelligence have been a persistent theme
in science fiction. Early stories typically revolved around intelligent
robots. The word "robot" itself was coined by Karel apek in his 1921
play R.U.R., the title standing for "Rossum's Universal Robots". Later,
the SF writer Isaac Asimov developed the three laws of robotics which he
subsequently explored in a long series of robot stories. These laws have
since gained some traction in genuine AI research.
Other influential fictional intelligences include HAL, the computer in
charge of the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey, released as both a film
and a book in 1968 and written by Arthur C. Clarke.
Since then, AI has become firmly rooted in popular culture.
Notes
Definition of AI as the study of intelligent agents:
Poole, Mackworth & Goebel 1998, p. 1, which provides the version that
is used in this article. Note that they use the term "computational
intelligence" as a synonym for artificial intelligence.
Russell & Norvig (2003) (who prefer the term "rational agent") and
write "The whole-agent view is now widely accepted in the field" (Russell
& Norvig 2003, p. 55).
Nilsson 1998
Legg & Hutter 2007.
The intelligent agent paradigm:
Russell & Norvig 2003, pp. 27, 3258, 968972
Poole, Mackworth & Goebel 1998, pp. 721
Luger & Stubblefield 2004, pp. 235240
Hutter 2005, pp. 125126
The definition used in this article, in terms of goals, actions,
perception and environment, is due to Russell & Norvig (2003). Other
definitions also include knowledge and learning as additional criteria.
Although there is some controversy on this point (see Crevier (1993, p.
50)), McCarthy states unequivocally "I came up with the term" in a c|net
