US Edition'Peace' or 'Piece'? Musk mocks Donald Trump's new Board of Peace in Davos
Elon Musk warned AI could surpass human intelligence by 2030, questioning if political initiatives like Trump’s Board of Peace can keep pace with rapid technological change.
- At the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this week, Elon Musk used a technology session to outline an AI- and robotics-driven vision while briefly mocking US President Donald Trump's newly announced Board of Peace.
- On tight timelines, Musk told Davos attendees that AI systems could soon outstrip human intelligence, possibly smarter than any human by this year or next year, surpassing collective intelligence by 2030.
- Observers on social media responded that Musk's lightly ironic jab at the Board of Peace was seen as a critique of performative diplomacy amid deep geopolitical fractures, while he reiterated AI as both opportunity and risk to the Davos audience.
- The Board of Peace was unveiled amid active conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war, and US President Donald Trump officially launched it on the sidelines of Davos earlier this week.
- By arguing AI could reshape power, Musk positioned technology ahead of governance, suggesting AI systems may disrupt global power faster than governance frameworks can adapt and redefine labour and decision-making.
