Elon Musk warns that AI may be more dangerous than other mismanaged engineering systems (e.g., aircraft or car production) because, even if the probability is small, the potential consequence includes civilizational destruction. He notes popular analogies like the Terminator films but clarifies that real danger would stem from centralized intelligence in data centers, with robots serving as end-effectors.

AI is perhaps more dangerous than mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production, in the sense that it has the potential, however small. One may regard that probability, but it is non trivial. It has the potential of civilizational destruction. There's movies like Terminator, but it wouldn't quite happen like Terminator because the intelligence would be in the data centers, right? The robot's just the end effector.
