Elon Musk has long been an opponent of the direction Artificial Intelligence is taking, and has made frequent warnings that measures should be made to stop the singularity—an event where robot intelligence will exceed all collective human intelligence. Yet recently, Musk has taken a new direction with his comments, describing the problem humans face when competing with computers.
