Artificial intelligence, created by authoritarian governments, can become an immortal dictator, from which no one can escape. This was stated by the director of companies SpaceX and Tesla billionaire Ilon Mask in the documentary Chris Payne Do you trust this computer, reports LEAGUE with reference to Mashable.

According to Mask, authoritarianism is not something new, but at least Mussolini and Hitler died. He fears that in an era of technology, artificial intelligence created by authoritarian governments will outlast individual leaders and create a permanent structure of oppression.

"This is a very important issue, it will affect our lives in a way that we can not imagine now," he told viewers on Thursday night at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles.

It is noted that in view of how Russia already uses algorithms to undermine democracies, and China plans to launch a social credit system to monitor its citizens in real time by 2020, this does not seem contrived.

On March 13, it was reported that the founder of the company SpaceX stands for the creation of a regulatory body that will monitor the safety of artificial intelligence.
