Musk changes the prediction and says artificial intelligence will be smarter than humans by 2025

Entrepreneur Elon Musk He once again talked about the developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and when such a platform will surpass humans. According to that, The end of 2025 is when language models will exceed our capacity.

“I guess so We will probably have an artificial intelligence smarter than all humans by the end of next year“, the billionaire said during a voice call on social network X, formerly Twitter.

Additionally, senior executives of companies such as SpaceX and Tesla say: Artificial intelligence’s independent thought and action will surpass humanity within five years.

The deadline is slightly different from what Musk stated in his social network profile a few weeks ago. At the time, he predicted that artificial intelligences “smarter than all humans combined” would only emerge in 2029. He later stated that by 2030 the “power of the human brain” will be surpassed by machines.

The challenge is not artificial intelligence, but electricity

Musk himself is also very interested in this prediction. It has its own AI chatbot called GrokIt aims to be sarcastic and use looser language than other similar services.

The businessman was a co-founder of OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, but left the company after a fight with other executives. However, in previous years, he also expressed his concerns about artificial intelligence education and even said that this technology “A fundamental risk to human existence”.

In 2023, he was part of the group that called for a pause on chatbot research for fear of unfettered developments, but he no longer appears to be advocating these measures.

According to Musk, the biggest obstacle to growing an intelligent artificial intelligence It’s not about the process itself, it’s about the infrastructure needed to keep everything running. According to the businessman, current difficulties, including the shortage of processors, will be overcome, but they will be replaced by difficulties in maintaining an electrical grid capable of meeting so much demand.

“Last year, There was a chip limitation. People couldn’t buy enough NVIDIA chips. There is a transition to voltage transformer supply this year. In a year or two, There will be only electricity supply“, he argues.
