In his most recent tirade on the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence, billionaire tech titan Elon Musk says governments will use force to get companies to turn over their advanced AI technology.

During the course of his Twitter rant, in which Musk claims the global race for artificial intelligence will result in World War III, a follower suggests that the government lags behind and corporations will develop the most threatening arsenal of artificial intelligence.

“[Governments] don’t need to follow normal laws,” he says. “They will obtain AI developed by companies at gunpoint, if necessary,” Musk responds.

Musk is consistent in his terrifying reminders that the rapid and accelerating development of AI is the greatest threat to civilization. Artificial intelligence is more dangerous than North Korea, he’s said, even as the country has been testing its military technology.

Since launching a nuclear missile would be “suicide” for the North Korean regime, it should be “low on our list of concerns for civilizational [sic] existential risk,” Musk has argued.
