Elon Musk says AI promises wealth and great healthcare for all, but 'jobs are going to change'

"I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance where we don't have just universal basic income, we have universal high income," the Tesla and SpaceXAI CEO told reporters following a meeting of tech leaders at the White House on Tuesday.

"When you have robots, and you have superintelligence, it means that everyone in the world can have better medical care than anyone here, including me," Musk continued, describing that possibility as "wonderful."

Asked about AI potentially destroying jobs, the world's richest man replied that "jobs are going to change," but that's nothing new.
