Risk and participation
Isaacson asks Musk how he reconciles concern with involvement.
Walter Isaacson asks Elon Musk why his public attitude toward artificial intelligence has seemed to alternate between warning about existential risk and participating in its development.
Musk says he still believes there is some chance AI could pose an existential threat. He also says he does not believe he can stop its development on his own.
He describes the choice as participating or watching from the sidelines and says he hopes participation might let him influence the direction for the better. These are his stated views, not evidence that the risks or outcomes are settled.
