Elon Musk
Tech billionaire Elon Musk says AI will surpass human intelligence by 2026 despite some challenges.
  • Elon Musk predicts AI will outsmart humans by the end of 2026 — earlier than he first expected.
  • He said in an X interview that the "world's smartest people" are entering AI as the sector booms. 
  • But data scarcity, a GPU shortage, and electricity demands pose some obstacles to AI development.

Elon Musk is once again betting that artificial intelligence will outsmart us all — and he expects that to occur sooner than he initially thought.
