In a speech at the National Governor's Association on Saturday, the Tesla CEO reiterated his long-standing sentiments on AI technology.
“I have access to the very most cutting edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned about it." He also flatly stated that AI is “the greatest risk we face as a civilization,” suggesting that the government intervene and regulate the technology before it's too late.

“AI’s a rare case where we need to be proactive in regulation, instead of reactive. Because by the time we are reactive with AI regulation, it’s too late,” Musk said, adding: “AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization, in a way that car accidents, airplane crashes, faulty drugs, or bad food were not.”
