ELON MUSK: The future is fundamentally AI and Robots.

"Our AI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue probably in September, like next month, and will significantly exceed all other SpaceX revenue in the fourth quarter. So, AI has become an extremely important part of SpaceX's future. I think it's actually vital that we succeed in AI, not just in hardware, but also in software.

So, yeah, the future is fundamentally AI and robots. Assuming civilization continues to progress, I think that AI will probably, the amount of digital intelligence will probably be more than a trillion times the amount of biological intelligence. So, not sort of equal to human intelligence, but probably a trillion times higher.

I'd say a billion times higher than the amount of artificial intelligence that we have today. I'd say a billion times is an easy prediction, and probably a trillion.

So, as you harness more and more of the sun's energy, the ability to turn that into intelligence is fundamentally a digital computer thing, because it's pretty hard for humans to go live in deep space without any support. I mean, some of the math is interesting to think about, which is that if you increased civilizational energy usage, the amount of energy that we have harnessed as a civilization by a factor of a million, you would still be using much less than one millionth of the sun's energy.

Now, most of this is in deep space, obviously, but the future is very much AI, very much, and I suppose it was always going to be that way.

But it's important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems, and this is why I think it's essential that SpaceX succeed, not just with AI hardware, but also with AI software."
