Part 3/13:
A key focus of the conversation was AI's exponential growth. Musk revisited a prediction he made earlier in the year—that AI capabilities are improving roughly 100 times per year. Current estimations suggest that AI improves by tenfold annually, which implies that by 2029 or 2030, AI could match or surpass human-level intelligence across many domains.
He emphasized that within the next one to two years, AI might be able to perform nearly any task a human can. Looking further ahead, Musk believes that within about three years from that point, AI could potentially outperform all humans collectively, leading to a period of unprecedented technological capability.
