Artificial Intelligence "more dangerous than nukes!"

Elon Musk hit the stage at SXSW this week to talk Mars, Tesla and Artificial Intelligence.

I don't know about you, but the informative interview left me with way more questions than answers, particularity when it comes to the subject of AI.

Should we not demand regulation and controls over the development of AI? As Elon says, you wouldn't let just anyone build a nuke! (Cheery stuff ay?!!!). According to Elon, it is inevitable the world will slip into a dark age... he should try being a Spurs fan, like me!

Here are the recommendations following the Government review, which to me feels insufficient.
