Mark Zuckerberg : —> enthusiastic

—> medical progress research to find treatments against illnesses

—> technological progress : to make road traffic safer

==> positive progress only happens with an optimistic mindset ( any break throught started with small failures )

Elon Musk : —> sceptical / worried

Hight risks of broad AI ( unlike simple AI ) even more threatening than nuclear power.

Elon and Mark both agree on :

advantages of vehicules driving on their own

Ethical issues : we should remain cautions

Text 2 : in an article that quotes Stephen Hawking’s take on the future of AI, published after his death. It specifically deals with the dangers of the impressive evolution of AI, and then the solutions he suggested to overcome the challenge.
