Musk: We’ve “exhausted” the supply of human knowledge for AI training data
The AI industry is having a hard time finding new reservoirs of human knowledge to train AI models on, having slurped up pretty much everything on the internet. Tesla CEO Elon Musk agrees with others in the industry that this resource is becoming increasingly scarce, and that using AI-generated synthetic data is the only way forward.
On a livestream interview with Stagwell CEO Mark Penn yesterday at CES, Musk said, “We’ve now exhausted basically the cumulative sum of human knowledge.”
Musk, who admits he is “pathologically optimistic,” said, “Pretty much any cognitive tasks that does not involve atoms, AI will be able to do within I’d say max three or four years.”
