Topic Reading-Vol.1976-9/8/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Elon Musk spent part of his Labor Day weekend tweeting about World War III.
Who is Elon Musk? He is an American entrepreneur and the founder or co-founder of PayPal, an online system provider, SpaceX, a rocket producer/launcher/operator, Tesla, an electronic vehicle manufacturer, Solar City, a solar energy company, to name a few. He aims to reduce
global warming through sustainable energy production and consumption, and reducing the "risk of human extinction." He also founded OpenAI, a non-profit artificial intelligence research company to promote and develop friendly AI to benefit humanity as a whole.
He seems to be quite foresightful as to make progressive and innovative changes in payment, car making, and rocket launching, doesn’t he?
Recently, he tweeted, "Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3" while everyone’s attention is occupied with the Korean Peninsula.
Enjoy reading the text and watching his interview, and think how imminent such a tragedy could occur.

Also, check Is 'killer robot' warfare closer than we think? (Vol.1968-Aug.31) 
if you missed it.
