How Musk's Mars Obsession Can Save Us From AI Doom: Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Speaks Up
Elon Musk may have a strong supporter of his Mars ambition in Ethereum ETH/USD co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
"The Mars obsession" is good, Buterin said. He sees it as a serious attempt to unite humanity around an "open border and positive-sum goals". It pits man against nature as opposed to man against man, he added.
This, according to the crypto entrepreneur, "reduces the risk of us creating hostile AIs in an effort to go really fast to beat the other team."
Buterin's view came in response to a tweet from science enthusiast Alexey Guzey, who in turn quoted Musk's tweet from 2015, in which Tesla CEO, Inc. TSLA says it funds safety AI research.

Guzey said Musk is being criticized for his obsession with Mars by those focused on AI security. He noted that they tend to forget that Musk heavily funded AI security initiatives, catalyzed AI, and pushed it in most of his interviews.
For the uninitiated, Musk has been pushing to make humans a multiplanetary species, and his company SpaceX is preparing to send humans to Mars by 2026. the company, being built and tested at a development facility in Boca Chica, Texas, aims to transport goods and people to the Moon and Mars.
Musk's flagship EV business, meanwhile, uses AI to build fully autonomous vehicles. In August 2021, on Tesla's AI Day, the billionaire unveiled the Optimus AI bot, which is apparently designed to perform repetitive tasks.
Tesla shares closed Friday's session up 5.78% at $891.45, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
