Tech billionaire Elon Musk has predicted that artificial intelligence will surpass all human intelligence by 2031, stating in an interview with The Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes that AI could do anything better than humans except be human. He warned of losing control within a decade, correlating to his earlier forecasts like GP models nearing human-level smarts. While prominent tech leaders like Sam Altman share AGI timelines, a broader survey points to 2047. Skeptics noted Musk's history of overly optimistic forecasts amid recent AI advances in coding and reasoning. On social platform X, a debate was sparked with one user writing that AI is not doing anything magical and cannot replace humans, and another calling it a bold prediction while noting AI progress is moving much faster than most people expected.
