Elon Musk warns of humanoid robots that can ‘chase you anywhere’ in conversation with Rishi Sunak

The Independent says Elon Musk expressed concern over humanoid robots that “can chase you anywhere” during a conversation with Rishi Sunak at the end of the government’s artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit on Thursday, 2 November.

The billionaire emphasised the need to have an off-switch for humanoid versions that can chase you up the stairs.

“You can run up a flight of stairs and get away from a Tesla,” the billionaire said as the UK prime minister laughed.

“If a robot can follow you anywhere, what if they get a software update one day, and they’re not so friendly any more?” Mr Musk added.
