Elon Musk, SpaceXAI subpoenaed by NYC in AI safety investigation

The New York City Council issued a subpoena to Musk, requiring that he or another representative of SpaceXAI testify in an investigation concerning AI safety.

Elon Musk predicts that money may become irrelevant in the future due to the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics. In an interview, the billionaire entrepreneur revealed that there will be "effectively universal high income," as humanoid robots will perform most tasks and produce ample goods and services. Musk envisions an "age of abundance" where robots handle childcare, teaching, and caring for the elderly, while working continuously without human limitations.

The Tesla CEO expects one billion humanoid robots by the next decade, with their numbers growing exponentially. Musk is pushing for a world where robots can build castles and fulfill any request. However, he believes that even in this potentially robot-dominated future, education remains crucial. Musk advises Gen Z to pursue "broad-based education," encompassing arts, sciences, and engineering, as it will help them formulate the right questions and effectively communicate with robots.

This advice aligns with the growing consensus among business leaders, who see broad, interdisciplinary learning as increasingly valuable in a world where AI handles more routine technical tasks.
