Billionaire Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and SpaceX, made a bold statement during the 27th Annual Global Conference organized by the Milken Institute last week.
According to the magnate, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will surpass humans in terms of intelligence. This statement goes against the opinion of many who say that artificial intelligence will never surpass humans, as they believe AI lacks its own creativity.
On the other hand, according to information from the site Euronews, Elon Musk claims that Artificial Intelligence is likely to surpass humans in intelligence to the point that “the percentage of biological intelligence decreases every month.” “Eventually, the percentage of biological intelligence will be less than 1%,” stated the billionaire.
No Deadline for This to Happen
During his speech, however, the billionaire did not provide a deadline for this to occur. However, he emphasized that “biological intelligence can serve as protection, as a buffer of intelligence. But in percentage terms, almost all intelligence will be digital.”

At another moment, Elon Musk stated that currently, the AI has flaws that require human intervention. However, he points out that, with the speed at which these technologies are evolving, the hurdles will be overcome in the future.
Elon Musk Wants to Create a Space Civilization
Elon Musk, during his speech, also answered some questions. One of them came after a question about SpaceX and the company’s future in space exploration.
According to the billionaire, the company’s aim is “to do science fiction, not fiction forever.” “We will make life multiplanetary and a space civilization, being out there, among the stars,” he said, who also commented on Starlink, stating that the technology should become increasingly decisive in the world. “I think Starlink will really drive the GDP of countries,” concluded the billionaire.
