Musk and Dimon’s self-serving AI predictions
Billionaires Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon both made big prognostications this week about AI’s impact on society.
“My guess is that we’ll have AI that is smarter than any one human probably around the end of next year,” the Tesla and xAI founder said in an interview broadcast on Twitter/X.
In Dimon’s annual letter to shareholders, the JPMorgan Chase CEO wrote of AI, “Think the printing press, the steam engine, electricity, computing and the Internet, among others.”
It’s unclear how much of these predictions will turn out to be empty hype. What we do know is that Musk, who also founded xAI, and Dimon, whose bank employs more than 2,000 AI and machine-learning experts, have plenty of skin in the game.
