Elon Musk made evaluations regarding the future role of artificial intelligence in an interview with US author Walter Isaacson. Claiming that even wealthy individuals will not be able to control artificial intelligence, Musk stated that the system will control itself. He also expressed that money will lose its importance in the future and that people will find ways to be happy with hobbies even if they do not work. Musk argued that there will be nothing humans can do that artificial intelligence and robots will not be able to do better.

Stating that establishing institutions and rules to supervise artificial intelligence will take a long time, Musk suggested that companies could ask competitors to test the system before launching a new model. Musk conveyed that competitors would be honest with each other in this process, and for instance, if a nuclear bomb were made, the system could be regulated before use.
