“Responding on Twitter, CEO Elon Musk said he believes Tesla will become one of the largest AI companies in the world. This is in relation to Tesla’s autonomous vehicle approach. Musk said “…it turns out that the only way to solve self-driving is to solve a big part of real-world AI,” when responding about Tesla’s self-driving work.
It seems Musk believes Google is also advancing in AI. While not naming them directly, he said, “A company whose name rhymes with Shmoogle is pretty far ahead,” in reference to artificial intelligence. Google has created such software as DeepMind and AlphaGo, impressive demonstrations of AI in real-world and theoretical situations.”
