Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking over several sectors of our society. Among them are some of the jobs we have available in the job market today. According to Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter), many of them will become obsolete over time.
“There will come a point where no jobs will be needed. You can have a job if you want, for personal satisfaction. [But Artificial intelligence is capable of doing everything. I don't know if that makes people comfortable or uneasy. Whether it is positive or negative”, pointed out Elon Musk in a conversation with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak.

The speech was made on the eve of a summit on technology regulation.
“One of the challenges of the future will be: how do we find purpose in life”, continued Elon, who defended, also, a kind of “arbiter” so that we can supervise the work of supercomputers in the future.
In the same conversation, Musk said that sometimes he falls into the “temptation” of delegating tasks to Artificial Intelligence. According to him, it is a “position of disbelief” – even though he is one of the great defenders of the use of this type of technology in everyday life.
“Often when I'm in the fight at 3 a.m. I think, 'Why am I doing this, can I just wait for the A.I. take this on'”, said the billionaire, who also said that the challenges of the future will involve finding “a purpose in life".
At this point, the Prime Minister promptly responded: “I am a person who believes that the work gives you meaning in life.”
Elon Musk even managed to say that the future could be an “age of abundance”. According to him, we will “not have a basic income” but rather “a high universal income”. For the billionaire, it will be a significant income and this will give people more financial security.
