Elon Musk, the mastermind behind SpaceX and Tesla, believes that artificial intelligence is "potentially more dangerous than nukes," imploring all of humankind "to be super careful with AI," unless we want the ultimate fate of humanity to closely resemble Judgment Day from Terminator. Personally I think Musk is being a little hyperbolic -- after all, we've survived more than 60 years of the threat of thermonuclear mutually assured destruction -- but still, it's worth considering Musk's words in greater detail.
