Speaking to the China Media Group in Silicon Valley, California recently, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk proposed the establishment of a dedicated working committee to navigate artificial intelligence (AI) safety involving China and the United States.

Musk also shared his views on the rapid evolution of humanoid robotics.

00:15In space, I think the most important thing to achieve cooperation with is to make sure that when satellites are
00:20launched from the U.S. or China,
00:21that we closely coordinate what orbits the satellites are going to, to avoid a potential collision.
00:27I think that's the most important area of cooperation.
00:31And then, in general, I would say the important thing for space launch, the fundamental breakthrough that's needed, is full
00:39and rapid reusability,
00:41which we're hoping to achieve with the Starship design by catching the ship hopefully around the end of next month
00:51and then reflying the ship either later this year or early next year.
00:55And that will be a very important breakthrough.
00:58And I'm sure others will solve that problem as well.
01:01I'm sure China will at some point solve that problem too.
01:03The full and rapid reusability of a rocket is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multi-planetary.
01:07I can't emphasize enough, and I've said this so many times over the years, full and immediate reusability of rockets,
01:14like aircraft,
01:16is the fundamental breakthrough that's needed to extend life beyond Earth, to make life multi-planetary, and to create self
01:24-growing cities on the Moon and Mars.
01:28And as soon as we're able to create a self-growing city on the Moon and Mars, the probable lifespan
01:34of consciousness is dramatically greater,
01:37because now we don't have all our eggs in one basket.
01:42So if something were to go wrong with, say, the Moon or Mars or Earth, but we've got human civilizations
01:50on all three of those places,
01:52then our chances of surviving are much greater.
01:55I think maybe there could be a working committee to figure out safety, because I think in order for safety
02:02to work,
02:03it can't just be regulation in the U.S. or regulation in China.
02:07It's got to be, you know, how do we apply regulation fairly to AI produced in any country?
02:14But really China and the U.S. are the ones that really matter here.
02:20So I think a really important thing that would be good for the safety of AI for all of humanity.
02:26Robots have a very fast reaction time, so it's going to be very difficult to beat a robot for reaction
02:31time.
02:32Because we are somewhat constrained by our biology, but a robot, you can just improve the actuators, improve the sensors,
02:39improve the frame rate of the cameras, increase the amount of AI compute there is,
02:45and it's going to just fundamentally be much better and have faster reactions than humans.
02:51I enjoyed watching the robot games.
02:55I mean, everyone in America was fascinated by that, by the way.
02:57It was all over U.S. social media.
02:59It's entertaining to watch, but it also shows you the progress of humanoid robotics.
03:04Exactly.
03:05Like, it wouldn't be entertaining to watch if the robots just fell over.
03:07Of course.
03:08But, you know, the robots like boxing and then like wrestling, running, doing gymnastics.
03:14It's pretty cool.
03:16So, I mean, the future is going to have a lot of robots.
03:19I think that's an easy prediction.
03:21I'd say no later than 10 years.
