Elon Musk donates $10 million for AI safety and ethics
Inventor Elon Musk, creator of Tesla and SpaceX, has decided to donate $10M to the Future of Life Institute to run a global research program aimed at keeping AI beneficial to humanity.
The $10M program will be administered by the Future of Life Institute, a non-profit organization whose scientific advisory board includes AI-researchers Stuart Russell and Francesca Rossi. "I love technology, because it's what's made 2015 better than the stone age", says MIT professor and FLI president Max Tegmark. "Our organization studies how we can maximize the benefits of future technologies while avoiding potential pitfalls."
