Thoughts about the Third world war in the head of the Director General of Tesla and SpaceX was not associated with testing of nuclear weapons in North Korea. Elon musk is much more concerned with the dangers of artificial intelligence.
North Korea «needs to be much lower in our list of existential risks,» Musk said in one of a series of messages on Twitter on Monday.
«The reason world war III is likely to be a rivalry for supremacy in the technology race of artificial intelligence», — he wrote in another tweet.
Should be low on our list of concerns for civilizational existential risk. NK has no entangling alliances that wd polarize the world into war.

Such a prediction was a response to the recent words of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. «Artificial intelligence is the future not only of Russia but of all mankind,» — said Putin. — «Who will become the leader in this area — become ruler of the world.»
At the moment, in the words of one senior technical management, USA, China and India are the three countries leading the race AI.
But Musk believes that many other countries try to catch up. «Governments will not abide by laws, when it comes about AI», — he said in one tweet. — «If necessary, the company will develop artificial intelligence at the barrel of a gun.»
In another response on Twitter, Musk suggested that «if the AI system will deploy aggressive actions, the most likely way to win would be a preventive war.» Musk has repeatedly stated the need for the regulation of developments in the field of AI and the role of the government in this matter.
In discussions about AI, Musk has faced at least one major billionaire CEO of Facebook mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg called apocalyptic expectations Mask «quite irresponsible.» Musk said, calling Zuckerberg’s opinion on this global problem «limited.»
I’ve talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited.

Musk tried to resolve their concerns related to AI, with the help of two new businesses. OpenAI is a non — profit research company AI and Neuralink involved in the construction of the device is able to connect human brain to a computer.
«I tried to sound the alarm for quite a while, but it clearly did not work, scary about the development of AI so far, no one thinks seriously,» he said in an interview about the launch of a Neuralink. «And I thought, «well, then I’ll have to contribute to the development in this area»».
