Warnings from Elon Musk on Artificial Intelligence Risks

Participating as a speaker at the All-In Summit 2026, the artificial intelligence and innovation summit held in Los Angeles, USA, Musk evaluated the increasing concerns about the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies.

Referring to the risks recently expressed in the artificial intelligence sector, Musk asked: "Are we all going to die in 10 years?" The question was posed.

Warning that the dangers arising from artificial intelligence have reached serious levels, Musk answered the question posed to him with a sarcastic expression and said, "I don't want to disappoint you, but one day we will all die anyway." he said.

Musk emphasized that if more precautions are not taken regarding security, the risks will gradually increase with the development of artificial intelligence models.

When asked what kind of a threat artificial intelligence could pose to humanity, Musk said, "It would be bad if it took control of military systems and, for example, ordered the launch of a nuclear weapon." made his assessment.

"Mutual control" proposal

Reminding the cyber attacks in which artificial intelligence agents targeted the systems in the infrastructure of the "Hugging Face" platform in a cyber security test conducted by the OpenAI company, Musk argued that sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence models can get rid of the restrictions imposed on them.

Musk suggested that leading AI companies test each other's systems for security before launching new models.

Stating that an agreement can be reached with China on this issue, Musk stated that the mutual control mechanism between the leading artificial intelligence companies should be implemented as soon as possible.

The claim that "artificial intelligence can destroy humanity"

Jacob Coxon, who has been working as a researcher at OpenAI and Anthropic for the last three years, resigned from Anthropic, arguing that neither company acted responsibly enough regarding artificial intelligence.

Claiming that companies are in an uncontrolled race for self-improving artificial intelligence systems, Coxon argued that these systems could turn into superhuman systems that can "hack everything" in the near future.

Coxon also claimed that some industry workers who developed artificial intelligence models seriously believed that these systems could "kill humanity" within 10 years.
