Elon Musk’s Visionary Predictions While Playing Diablo 4 - 1. Estimating AGI by 2026
1. Estimating AGI by 2026
During his Diablo 4 livestream, Elon Musk shared his bold prediction: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—AI capable of outperforming humans across most tasks—could emerge as early as 2026. Musk described AGI as a double-edged sword, with immense potential for progress but also significant risks.
Why AGI Matters
Musk emphasized that AGI represents a turning point in human history, offering breakthroughs in areas like healthcare, education, and space exploration. However, he cautioned that its misuse or lack of control could lead to catastrophic consequences, including the collapse of civilizations.
Key Risks Discussed:
- A “1% chance of civilization-ending events” per century caused by unchecked AGI.
- The ethical challenges of aligning AGI’s goals with humanity’s best interests.
The Optimistic Side:
With proper oversight and collaboration, Musk believes AGI could accelerate solutions to global problems, from renewable energy to disease eradication.
DOGE’s Connection to AGI
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could leverage AGI to optimize government processes, analyze data for decision-making, and reduce inefficiencies. For example:
- Predicting trends to allocate budgets more effectively.
- Automating bureaucratic tasks to free up resources.
