Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has made a bold prediction regarding the future of artificial intelligence (AI), stating that AI will surpass human intelligence by next year, or within the next two years. Musk emphasized that the development of AI smarter than the smartest human could be realized within this timeframe. He also highlighted the rapid growth of AI compute power, which is increasing tenfold every nine months, and predicted that AI will exceed the sum of human intelligence within five years. Additionally, Musk mentioned that the next version of Grok, the AI chatbot from his startup X.AI, is expected to be trained by May. This prediction comes amid Musk's ongoing legal dispute with OpenAI, a venture he co-founded.
