Elon Musk Says Superintelligence Is Most Likely to Bring an Age of Abundance

Elon Musk said superintelligence is more likely to produce an age of broad material abundance than catastrophe, sharpening a debate over how quickly AI and robotics could alter work, money and control of the economy. In a July interview, the Tesla and xAI chief argued that AI could exceed the sum of human intelligence in roughly five years and that, by 2036, robots and digital intelligence could make goods and services so plentiful that money loses much of its practical role.
