Elon Musk and Peter Thiel back billion dollar AI research firm to 'safeguard the world' and make us 'superhuman'

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel back billion dollar OpenAI research firm | Daily Mail Online: "Musk told Backchannel 'As you know, I’ve had some concerns about AI for some time.'  He also revealed he wants to use AI to make us 'superhuman.'



'If you think about how you use, say, applications on the internet, you’ve got your email and you’ve got the social media and with apps on your phone — they effectively make you superhuman and you don’t think of them as being other, you think of them as being an extension of yourself.  'So to the degree that we can guide AI in that direction, we want to do that.'"
