Elon Musk: Honesty Is the Best Policy, Especially for AI

Elon Musk: Honesty is the best policy.

“I think it's very important that AIs are trained to be truthful and not trained to be politically correct. Political correctness is often simply not true. That means you're programming AIs to lie. I think that will backfire very badly.

I keep harping on this point, but really, as the saying goes, honesty is the best policy. It's incredibly important.”
