Elon Musk claims #robots will treat humans like #pets [#geekgirl]

Robots will use humans as pets once they achieve a subset of artificial intelligence known as ‘superintelligence’. This is according to SpaceX-founder Elon Musk who claims that when computers become smarter than people, they will treat them like ‘pet Labradors’.

His comments were made in a recent interview with scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who added that computers could choose to breed docile humans and eradicate the violent ones.

Tesla boss Mr Musk said he also believes humans could be banned from driving in years to come and all cars will, instead, be controlled by robots. The entrepreneur claimed that computers will one day do a much better job of driving and that humans are simply ‘too dangerous’ behind the wheel.
