Elon Musk: Soon, Nearly All Intelligence Will Be Digital

Elon Musk: Almost all intelligence will be digital.

“AI might be the most important question of all. The percentage of intelligence that is biological grows smaller with each passing month.

Eventually, the percentage of intelligence that is biological will be less than 1%.

We just, I guess, don't want AI that is brittle. If the AI is somehow brittle, silicon circuit boards don't do well just out in the elements, so I think biological intelligence can serve as a backstop, as a buffer of intelligence.

But almost all, as a percentage, almost all intelligence will be digital.”
