According to major foreign media, Musk made these remarks on the 1st (local time) at Tesla's '2023 Investor Day' event held at the 'Gigafactory' in Austin, Texas, in response to questions related to AI.

He explained, "I don't think AI will help us make cars anytime soon," adding, "By that time, we probably won't need to work."

He continued, "I am somewhat concerned about AI," and said, "There needs to be an organization that can oversee AI development."

Musk also stated, "AI must be operated for the public good," and explained, "AI is a considerably dangerous technology, and I feel scared because I may have done some things that accelerated AI development."

At the end of the presentation, while acknowledging that AI is definitely useful for enabling cars to drive safely on their own, he said, "AI is stressing me out. I don't know what to say."
