Musk: AI and robotics will make money "irrelevant"

ChainCatcher reported that Musk recently stated at the US-Saudi Forum that AI and robotics will make money "irrelevant." "There will still be energy constraints such as electricity and quality, but I think money will eventually lose its meaning." He also cited the "Culture" series by science fiction writer Iain Banks, written between 1987 and 2012, saying these works can help people "envision what a positive AI future might look like."

In addition, Musk mentioned the end of labor itself, saying that work will become an option, like "sports or video games." "It's harder to grow vegetables in the backyard, but some people still enjoy it simply because they love planting. Work will be the same, becoming an option."
