Elon Musk, one of the leading figures in the technology sector, believes that superhuman artificial intelligence may appear by the end of next year. This claim is closely related to his previous prediction that by 2029 artificial superintelligence will become a reality. Superintelligence refers to machine intelligence that exceeds human capabilities in all tasks, while
Superintelligence goes even further: it achieves results better than humanity's combined knowledge on every possible task.
One of the world's richest people shared his views in a live interview on the X social platform. He pointed out that the idea would be possible from a technological standpoint, but there are some obstacles. For example, the increase in energy demand and the shortage of learning chips for artificial intelligence could limit the pace of development. He added that In the past, chip shortages made development difficult, and power supply is expected to soon become the main challenge.

Information and application
In 2016, Musk already expressed concern about the potential risks of developing artificial intelligence.
With this in mind, he founded his startup xAI, which aims to develop an ethical system for artificial intelligence. Grok's chatbot, developed by xAI, is currently competing with OpenAI's GPT-4 model, indicating Musk's ambitions in this area. So far, the results have been mixed regarding the accuracy of the billionaire's predictions: previously, wrong predictions were made about Tesla's self-driving ability and SpaceX's mission to Mars, among other things. Likewise, Neuralink's brain chip project is also progressing with significant delays.
Elon Musk's activities are not limited to technological innovation; Actively participates in social and political discussions. Most recently, he clashed with a Supreme Court judge in Brazil over rulings related to the X platform. In his statements, he often emphasizes that his communication is guided not by material interests, but by what he believes might be interesting or important to the audience.
