Elon Musk takes a jab at Bill Gates, says 'his understanding of AI was limited. Still is'

Elon Musk took a dig at fellow billionaire Bill Gates and his understanding of AI in a tweet on Monday. He claimed that Gates' understanding about AI is limited.

This was in response to a tweet, by a user named Sandy Kory, that appreciated Bill Gates' role at Microsoft and his bullish view on AI.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently published an essay titled 'The Age of AI Has Begun' explaining the next big revolution awaiting humanity. Gates wrote about how AI could transform the workforce, healthcare, and education.


Elon Musk responded by saying "I remember the early meetings with Gates. His understanding of AI was limited. Still is."


Elon Musk and Bill Gates have had disagreements on various topics including climate change, the pandemic, and space travel. They have made public jabs at each other for years in interviews and on Twitter.

Similarly, they have different views on generative AI. Bill Gates in his essay described how AI has the power to change the world while Elon Musk believes that AI is one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization and has even said that it is 'far more dangerous than nukes'.
