Elon Musk delivers speech at VivaTech

you don't need them any introduction your name is a brand is already a brand it's a brand for for Innovation for ambition for a perfume yes yes this is the agreement that you made with uh there are no family a few hours ago I mean it's I mean really it Brands itself yeah and you are the origin of people Tesla SpaceX to name a few and even open AI so yeah you love taking risks and you are going always against the tide and the popular wisdom you have been always proven right now there is almost always now there is a bet of the 44 billion US dollar question which is will you still be right with Twitter sure uh so it was expensive yeah yeah I don't know if um you know listen if I'm so smart why did I pay so much for Twitter then [Laughter] so as I'm not a journalist I'm not trying to get headlines and to have provocative response and to make a scoop but nevertheless if you wish to do that it is authorized okay great so we are expecting that you will really make the show because everyone comes here to see you to listen to you and to get some of the magic that you have all right well I'm I'm honored that you it'll I want to listen to what I have to say it's uh great to to see the crowd and uh I know you guys seem awesome so but you told me that you would like you said that you would like to speak in French oh my goodness [Laughter] [Applause] some people who believe that you are a genius and yeah there are some who are you will believe that you are evil so but I mean you can be both I mean you could be an evil genius that's not uh you know so that's what you are or you will let the people draw that on conclusion um uh I am definitely not evil what what is the thing that you have ahead of your oh yes if you look carefully you can see an angel's Halo on my head and the wings uh it's a subtle but where are the wings yeah they're difficult to see but if you look carefully you know they're right there yeah yeah small Wings yes um [Music] um so uh yeah um okay so that wasn't convincing you don't you have done a lot of operation you have created a lot of companies the most important question for everyone is what the hell is driving you why are you so obsessed by new operation New Creation new things to do yeah crystal meth is the answer if you think Red Bull gives you wings um so man that that's that that quote it's gonna probably sting um so um yeah just kidding for the record [Laughter] um so well I think there's the companies still have a lot to do for their their core Mission um the you know for electric vehicles sustainable energy still less than one percent of the Global Fleet is electric so you've got about two billion cars and trucks on the road but still less than 20 million are electric at this point so this is a long way to go for sustainable energy for um sustainable energy generation so this you know the Tesla Mission I think we've made a lot of progress but still um it's a lot more ahead um than SpaceX the goal is uh it's a it's a big goal but it's we want to try to make life multi-planetary to extend life beyond Earth and I think this is important for a number of reasons but um yeah there's the sort of defensive reason of ensuring that the light of Consciousness does not go out um and if I made some of these questions if I'm going on too long you feel free to interrupt me but the no no you can Okay so um you know people do ask me you know have I seen UFOs uh and aliens and that kind of thing and um I haven't and I think I would have seen them by now um so it appears that we might there's we might be the only Consciousness at least in this galaxy and um and if so that's kind of a scary Prospect because it means that the light of Consciousness is like a like a tiny candle in a vast Darkness and we should do everything we can to prevent that candle from going out so yeah and and so so some of the things so that means obviously taking the actions to ensure that Earth is good that Earth is safe and secure for civilization um and it I think it also means extending life beyond Earth um to other planets in the solar system and ultimately to other star systems um and I think that's that's both a sort of defense of the light of Consciousness and also um I think a point of inspiration because the life cannot just be about solving um one problem after another we need things that Inspire us I mean we need things that move our hearts and that when you wake up in the morning you're excited to be alive and being a space-bearing civilization and making true the things that we see in the good science fiction movies this is one of the things that I think can inspire all of humanity just like the you know when when the astronauts went to the moon in 69 it was something that then they said For All Mankind you know and it really was something you say to any human on earth what's the what is it what's like the most amazing thing that Humanity has ever done a lot of at least one of those things would be we went to the moon you know and so you want to have these inspiring things that make you excited to be alive and excited about the future um yeah and you you had those thoughts and dreams when you are a kid though this came much later on well I didn't think I would be doing these things as a kid um that's for sure I was interested in technology I've read a lot of books so I was obviously interested in science I mean this is hardly going to be surprising I was interested in science fiction and Technology you have to tell the truth because yeah my mom's right there she can call me out on this if it's not not accurate but um so I guess the the thing that was Maybe most significant from a philosophical standpoint was that when I was about maybe 12 or 13 I had somewhat of an existential crisis where I was like I was like what what is the meaning of Life Is Life just meaningless why are we here what does it all mean and um and I read a lot of books on religion and philosophy and um and then ultimately the you know I read this book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which is great um and in that book that book is really a philosophy book that's disguised as humor and the point that Douglas Adams makes is that the the real difficulties understanding what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe and that we that that really we want to we want to have it's it's essentially if it's like a philosophy of curiosity of of saying well what can we do to find out more about the the nature of the universe and um and the meaning of life and so that's that's the sort of foundational element and then from there you say okay well if we want to find out meaning of life we have to expand the scope and scale of Consciousness we have to go out there and we explore the Stars to know what questions to ask about the universe and understand the universe and that's that's my core philosophy um and and so from that it was like well we have to make sure that uh Earth is good so we have to have sustainable energy um we um we want to build technology to travel beyond Earth and that's it's from that sort of core philosophy that these companies uh arise in most cases um they can say how does Twitter help with that [Laughter] I would like to go back to Earth sure and to the various Enterprises that you contributed to Korea or co-created or created let's start with PayPal so a very impressive company do you regret to have sold it um I I think in retrospect I think it was it was good to have that that the company was acquired by eBay um because there was so much talent at PayPal and that Talent subsequently went on to create many other companies um so uh YouTube for example was created by two people that worked at at PayPal um uh we had there was a LinkedIn was created from from PayPal there was Yelp there was many other companies um yeah yeah very impressive yeah so and then if I'd been still working on PayPal then there wouldn't be you know Tesla would not be in its current form and and SpaceX wouldn't exist yes so and yes I guess a short answer yes short-term sorry that um yes yeah yeah but now within you would have loved to keep it again well there is I think the potential to do something that is um uh bigger than PayPal this is sort of like the X the sort of everything app kind of thing so I I think it's it's somewhat poetic like we're trying to get good finish a task that was started about 24 years ago um I think it's I think we it's going to be useful at X Twitter is going to be just a very useful thing um and hopefully something that is a positive force for civilization and moving to Tesla and I have through one of our operation don't the first advertising campaign for the electric car of GM that was at the end of the 90s so can you explain why GM and other car manufacturers have not created Tesla and why Tesla is successful what is the difference um you're talking about the ev1 basically the ev1 car that was so uh General Motors actually did come out with this uh electric vehicle one ev1 and uh yes you remember if you want yes yeah um and uh actually so I thought when that came out of 97 yeah that sounds about right yeah um I would have I expected there would be an ev2 EV3 and so forth and if they've done that actually there would be no need for Tesla um but um for reasons that that aren't clear they GM recalled all of the EV ones even from customers that really wanted to keep the cars they recalled the cars and they crushed them in a junkyard and the the it was it still blows my mind that they did this because the the people who had the EV ones they love the cost so much they held a candlelit vigil at the junkyard where the cars were crushed okay like it was like like someone was getting killed you know like and it's like if somebody is holding a candle at vigil for them because they love your product so much maybe you should make more of it you know I mean it's like pretty rare for Catholic vigils to be helpful products so I I don't understand why they didn't do more they should have and they would be the leader in electric vehicles today but they didn't they didn't and so there was a need for Tesla because the you know at the time of starting Tesla there were no electric vehicles being made um and they were so the big car companies were not making electric vehicles there were no startups that we were aware of making electric vehicles so it's like well we should try and um I mean in the case of both Tesla and SpaceX I thought the chance of success was maybe 10 so I just felt like I thought it would be successful I thought it would fail hey good listen and now moving to the kids dream which is to become an astronaut and not to bid Rockets how you move from the idea that every child has I would be natural to I would do reusable Rockets yeah um you forgot no I I'm trying to compress the story so that they're not too long um because the story is actually quite long because I didn't start out wanting to do the Rockets I at first I was going to do this um philanthropic Mission to Mars called Mars Oasis and then as I started investigating um the what it would take to launch this Mission to Mars just a little Greenhouse basically it was intended to inspire the public and I started understanding more about the what Rockets could be used I actually went to Russia a few times to try to buy some of their nuclear missiles minus the nuclear minus the nuke um that's extra um so that was pretty wild being in Russia in 2001 negotiating to buy it two of their biggest missiles but but it became clear that the um and unless there was a something new with rockets there were that that was the fundamental issue the cost of access to space was the fundamental issue so it wasn't a it wasn't a question of trying to increase the Public's desire Public's desire for space and exploration is very high but there needs to be a means there needs to be a way um and uh there needs to be a radical Improvement in the cost of access to Auburn um so I was like okay well I'm going to try starting a rocket company and see if it's successful but I like I said I I told people at the time because because people would say to me just tell me this joke of like what's the fast you know what what what's the you know how do you go from sorry um sorry I'm getting a little hot under the collar here um I think a lot of people are um so they'll say what's the fastest way to make us a small fortune in the rocket industry in it and the punch line is you start with a large one so you know it was It was a tough going for a while our first three launches failed fortunately the fourth one succeeded if the fourth one had not succeeded SpaceX would not exist so it was a very close call fast forward you created or you co-created open AI yes uh chat GPT has been incredibly success incredibly successful it's the the fastest growing ever story and after having created open AI suddenly you say oh we should have a pause some people say oh it's because he has not done it well I mean I didn't think anyone would actually agree to the pause but I thought just for the record I just want to say I think we should pause I don't think that uh why do you want to should pose well I think there's there's a real danger for digital super intelligence uh having negative consequences and so if we are I'm not careful with creating artificial general intelligence we could have potentially a catastrophic outcome so now I think there's a range of possibilities I think the most likely outcome is positive for AI but it but that's not every possible outcome so we need to minimize the probability that something will go wrong with digital super intelligence yes so I'm in favor of AI regulation because I think Advanced AI is a risk to the public and anything that's risked to the public there needs to be some kind of referee that referee is the regulator and so I think that's that's my strong recommendation is to have some regulation for AI some regulation for AI yes which is what you want also for Twitter I'm not sure regulation I guess there's plenty of plenty of regulators sure thank you so speaking about Twitter you you have made a big bet yeah on Twitter you said it a few minutes ago that you paid too much yes yes uh and you are now going on to Twitter 2.0 or 3.0 which I understand it's a full-scale reinvention of the company uh yeah so we're both in the company very rapidly again the company is changing quite dramatically there are a lot of controvers about Twitter so I have in fact three very quick question the first one is why have you decided to acquire it the second is what was wrong at Twitter to make you acting and the last one is not the last last of the three because there are many other questions is why do you believe that you would be successful and you will be well thanks um I can imagine I can't imagine that you will not be well thanks um so well obviously I was on Twitter as a major user and even before the acquisition um closed my my Twitter account was the most interactive with account in the world so my I guess I'll be I'm pretty closely attuned to what's going on with Twitter you know I get a feel for how is it shifting one way or the other and uh generally I was concerned that Twitter was having a negative effect on civilization that was having a corrosive effect on civil society and um and so that you know anything that undermines uh civilization I think is not good and you know go back to my point of like we need to do everything possible to support civilization and move it in a positive direction and and I felt that it would that Twitter was kept moving more and more in a negative Direction and my hope and aspiration was to change that and have it be a positive force for civilization it is not perceived like this before are very happy to listen to that approach but it the perception is very different well I think it depends on I mean I think if if somebody is a regular Twitter user I think they most people would say that their experience has improved um we've we've gotten rid of um uh 90 of the Bots and the scams and and the various bad things that were happening um we've gotten rid of now at this point I think 95 of the child exploitation material that was on Twitter which was a shock to see the amount of that that was really terrible some of that had been going on for 10 years and no action so I think we've done a lot of good on that respect um and um and then I think you know we've also done things like we we have open sourced the algorithm so we're trying to be as transparent as possible so Twitter is the only social media company where you can see the actual code of the algorithm so it's not like some secret Black Box um I mean the the the way to build trust is that waitable trust is not take my word for it it's let's let's show you exactly how it works and full transparency and um and and we're also going to be showing like if your account is in any way affected by the Twitter system you can see it clearly um and uh just you know moving into I think a good direction um I think the recommendation algorithm I don't want to go on too long for Twitter but I think it's I think it's actually uh quite good and that those are on who are on the Twitter system I think generally think it's good um the you know we are seeing all-time highs in usage so at least you know for the public out there they are using the system more um so we're seeing a pretty significant week over week growth in in usage um so the you know the public is speaking with their time and if they're putting their time on on Twitter that's a very good signal um so that's that's very positive um what would you say to advertisers who left Twitter to convince them to come back yeah actually I should say that um maybe with a few exceptions almost all the advertisers have said that they've either come back or they said they will come back so actually I feel pretty pretty optimistic about the future um and um yeah so you know we really at this point I believe actually I'm not aware of any Advertiser that is uh either they've either come back or they said they'll come back I'm not aware of any exceptions they're probably a few exceptions but overall I think it's uh it's very positive good so we will have now a broader conversation we will ask Crystal Edmond from Orange the CEO of orange to join us as well as entrepreneur from lvmh and asmita dubei from uh loyal we have to move in order that they add a chair so come here [Applause] why they are arranging there is uh yes yes yes yes there is one question yeah that I would like to [Applause] take care so finally we are all together again so I I had another question but I will save it for later and I will give the floor to Crystal Crystal the man who is the CEO of orange and she is very much excited about putting some harsh difficult question to you let's go Twitter yeah and open debates that maybe were not possible before that sure now there's also another side of it which is that be some information fake news news fake news what that's crazy you believe that wait how do I know this is real now the question is and actually I think there's a flip side you need to social networks and there's a Code of Conduct that the EU has proposed to this information okay recently we decided to walk away from it so is this um because we don't like that before moderated and actually using printable on the content cooperation so just what are your thoughts on that well I'm generally a fan of um that we should have a free speech as much as possible as much as is allowed by the laws of any country so um you know I think that you know say for France we should um allow things that are allowed by law and if the people are want the laws to be different then pass a different law and will adhere to that law but but report for Twitter to go beyond the law that you know that doesn't seem quite right to me I think we want to allow the people to express themselves um and and really if you have to say when does Free Speech matter Free Speech matters and it's only relevant if if people are allowed to say things that you don't like because otherwise it's not free speech um and and I would I would take that if if somebody says something you know potentially offensive but that's that's actually okay now now we're not going to promote those you know offensive uh tweets but uh but I think people should be able to say things because the alternative is censorship and then and frankly I think if you go down the censorship route it's only a matter of time before censorship is turned upon you so that's why it's important um you know for in the US you've got the first amendment of freedom of speech amendment and he said like why did they do that that's because why did they pass that Amendment it was because they were not able to say what they wanted to say in the countries that they came from and they wanted to make sure that they could say what they wanted to say so I believe in Freedom for the people uh to say things and that even if somebody said that it's actually in some ways a sign of Health if people are able to if someone you don't like is able to say something you don't like rather than try to suppress that you say like you know what that's a good sign because that means I can say things and that person will not like what I say but I can still say it and that's a really big deal [Applause] especially in this country I mean freedom of speech that's something that's very I mean at the core of our values but now if we look at young people and being in the digital field and we provide Digital Services that people use there's also a move towards cyber bullying and harassment which I think we all it's also our role to educate young people on how to use the technology and make sure that because some behaviors I mean on Twitter or other social networks can actually have devastating effects on uh is Twitter doing something about it or would you be willing other players actually at Orange we do a lot in that space sure I I mean that's true I think I think you know Twitter is for sure willing to engage with others um and like as I said the overarching goal is to have Twitter be a force a positive force for civilization and um you know so and and and if if you're on the platform and you're being harassed or bullied or whatever obviously that's a negative experience um so um so you know what we're doing is it's we call it sort of freedom of speech but not freedom of reach uh which is that if you yes you can say offensive things but then your content is going to get down rated so if you're a jerk you your reach will drop so yeah I think that's the right thing and also and I don't know if you will be competing with the real to launch the future fragrance for Elon Musk and that the brand so you have to compete very hard but maybe you I know that you had already the lunch but there is never the Deezer so you can put your question all right first of all in the name of um it's great to have you on welcome so change of subjects from Twitter um at lvmh our oldest missile is called claudi Lombre I saw you enjoyed good wine yeah um it's 650 years old wow Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854. our most ancient American Maison Tiffany was founded in 1837. the sum of the years of existence of all are Maison at lvmh is 8393 years old wow Tesla is a teenager right yes yes 19 19 years old yeah and its market cap is already higher than lvmh security question of age yeah so so first question first question how much longer are you going to make us look so bad second question more serious do you feel the creation of value is more challenging in traditional or innovative business well first of all it's honor to be here and and speak with you so thanks for having me you know evaluations are are a strange thing because um you know sometimes I've said hey I think the stock price is too high at Tesla and then the stock price goes up I'm like okay um so if you you tweet is it going up or down no the crazy thing I mean when I've created I think the stock price is too high almost always it goes up so I don't know it's strange thing so I I guess in the case of Chancellor if the the really the the value of the company is primarily uh on the basis of autonomy so uh in my opinion um because if you look at our total vehicle output it's um it'll be almost 2 million Vehicles this this year or something like that um but that's that's still only two percent of total vehicle production so then why is our market cap so high and it's because the potential for autonomy um is uh that the value of autonomy is so high um that even even if you have a discounted percentage probability of autonomy happening that is still incredibly valuable so the average passenger car is used only about 10 hours a week so an average of about one and a half hours a day but if you have an autonomous Robo taxi the utility might be 50 or 60 hours a week out of 168 hours so now you've got a vehicle that costs the same but has five times the utility so it's so gigantic a change that that's really I think uh the main driver of our value and although I've said this before I think we will solve autonomy soon did you expect that the Tesla will be at this level of market cap no I did not expect Tesla would be at this level but yeah because this is just extraordinary uh unfair by the way I mean I don't set the price so yeah you don't said are you just another quick question um I tried mid-journey the other day yeah returning is amazing right and and I asked the software to make a Louis Vuitton advertising campaign with only two words so here it's a bad question for you Maurice right if if you are if you want to put me out of a job that was my question do you feel this advertising production industry is going to be threatened by AI be careful not at all it's totally safe [Laughter] I mean AI is definitely going to be a massive disruptive course I mean it AI is probably the the most disruptive technology ever I mean the crazy thing is that you know the the advantage that humans have is that uh we're smarter than other creatures like if we got into a fight with the gorilla the gorilla would definitely win um but we're smart so but now for the first time there's going to be something that is smarter than the smartest human like way smarter than the smartest human and as you can see from a journey the art that AI can create is incredible it's so beautiful and it does it you know within seconds so we're at I mean I think you know there's that sort of saying may you live in interesting times which I think is like not exactly a good thing sometimes but but we actually live I think we live in the most interesting of times um the Advent of AI and I actually thought to myself at one point like uh should you know do I would I really want to be alive at this point like let's say that there is some AI Armageddon um that happens some sort of AI apocalypse I think I would still be want to be alive at this time to see it and hopefully you know hopefully not not create cause it um but it's it's just a I think we live in an extremely interesting time you know um because the things that you see AI being able to do now it's going to do much more with each passing year cars will absolutely drive themselves better than any person could drive um we'll have humanoid robots like so Tesla's developing a humanoid robot we call it the T800 it's a yeah some people get that joke [Laughter] it's a Terminator um so we've done tweet that yeah um but if you like to say what isn't what is an economy an economy is GDP per capita times Capital now what happens if you don't actually have a limit on Capital if you have an unlimited number of uh sort of people or robots it's not it's not clear what meaning an economy has at that point because you have an unlimited economy effectively um so so like on the good side the plus side of AI is that I think we are heading for an age of abundance um where any goods and services that you want you can just have um so that's that's the that's the the positive side of of of AI future is an age of abundance inside I must say that we are using AI since many years and it is helping us a great deal and this is a tool that we are already using and I think it will be helping us to do even faster some very good ad it will be probably a long time before they replace the creative minds uh asmita maybe you have an opinion on that and maybe you can asmita is the CDO of L'Oreal and she she knows a lot about digital so maybe you can tell us a little bit about advertising and Ai and put your question to Elan so I'll pick up from advertising and from what you said before about Twitter so now we know that Twitter is expensive and we know that it aims to have free speech the question I have is about winning the advertiser's trust to be a preferred social media platform in the current context where the expected Revenue you know in 2023 is lower than 2022 you have brought in new leadership Linda so I wanted to know that how time the support the freedom because she's an advertising expert so so will she be able to manage the situation and how yeah I I think I think I think Linda's great um so I think Linda's gonna do uh amazing things for for Twitter and obviously understands where advertisers are coming from very deeply understands the concerns that advertisers have and I think we'll do a great job in addressing those concerns um you know a key part is um you know let me say like if you're an Advertiser what content do you want to appear next to and depending upon what Advertiser you know the sensitivity of the brand um if you're for example say Disney and you're advertising a children's movie then you want to have you know all ages content you know um and by the way Disney is one of our biggest advertisers so um so so it's really about just making sure that the content adjacency matches uh what a brand is comfortable with and then there's some cases where the the content is like you know there's not going to be any advertising because nobody wants to advertise next to it and that's going to be some of the more controversial stuff um yeah about content you have just made the announcement that there will be ad Revenue sharing for creators yes yeah and that has a condition it will be done when they are verified Blue Tick creators and the advertising is to verify Blue Tick users yes now if with that how does that impact your focus on subscription revenues because to be blue take uh you know there's a subscription versus advertising revenues Focus foreign yeah so a big part of like when you say like say how many Impressions does something get uh you say like well were those Impressions real or not real you know was it uh you know a computer just what running a hundred thousand fake accounts because that obviously doesn't count because the computer's not going to buy anything um so that's why our focus is on on verified users because we are admittedly conflating verification and subscription uh at Twitter so you could say like verified subscriber or something like that that's not it's not possible to game that so you know it's real you know it's solid and you know it's not a computer um so that's why it's that that's why we're focused on that um is to ensure the authenticity of the views and that it really uh that real people are seeing uh what's going on I mean the sheer amount of of Bot and scam and spam activity in social media is insane um and we're talking about AI it's very obvious that especially with today's AI the computers can pass every like are you a human test in fact I think they can pass all your human tests better than a human you know sort of you say like identify a traffic light or something like that okay let me tell you Tesla can identify a traffic life so if we're you know and but even like open source uh AI stuff right now can pass all of the the human tests so you have to have something that there's better authentication than than that yeah yeah I think that um confidence and trust is something which we lose fast and that we regain slowly uh I have no doubt personally that Twitter will gain back the trust provided that you do the right thing and I'm sure that you will do the right thing so this uh something which is probably just a hiccup in the time but you need to do the writing and I'm sure that you you will do it I have two small questions one which is regarding Ukraine you have uh help enormously Ukraine yeah at the beginning with starlings and I think we owe you a lot because without access to internet and without access to communication the war would have been finished what is your take on that experience yeah that was a I mean that whole situation is very complex um no kidding yeah it's really really complex um as you point out starlink did play a pivotal role um because Russia had actually taken out all of the satellite Communications and all of the ground Communications except for starlink was the only one that was still operating um and and even today it is still the only one that is effective at the front lines and uh stalling today is the backbone of the Ukrainian military Communications so you know I thought it was important to help out um and um but I but I do I do hope for some kind of resolution soon because I I think it's it's terribly sad that that's the flower of the Youth of Ukraine and Russia uh who don't want to be there that they're dying in trenches right now and I sure hope we can figure out some means to pee soon [Applause] the last question is going back to this crowd you have a lot of startups you have a lot of young people who want to be successful what are the two or three pieces of advice that you would give them well you have a question over there yes do we have a microphone because Elon has accepted to take question from the floor shout out a a microphone hey go you have the mic you go yes okay I don't know why you got the mic but please go identified short question sure electric cars obviously okay yeah yeah um okay yeah give them my bike yeah yeah uh I mean uh me and Mario should get a room basically I I love Mars okay no no no no now I want that to give the mic sorry guys uh there okay so what's the question what is the question my name is co-founder and CEO at click out we make AI tiny so Tesla is one of our Target I would love to work with you Ellen and my husband is actually ex movie line who has very like the infrastructure and okay okay sure oh [Applause] okay one last question guys whatever yeah okay however long you want to do it no no yeah totally crazy yeah [Music] we are working on the mental health to help people to go to Mars actually sure that's great it's relevant mental health for Humanity well I think I think you'd want to have a very good mental health on a trip to Mars make sure everyone's sane because you don't want someone opening at the airlock in the middle of the night um so I think sanity is very important uh if you're going to Mars please we're just gonna just descend into chaos I just take it [Music] okay you would get okay and easy okay okay now thank you sir I'm Nathaniel Ackerman from okay I I think we're gonna just it's gonna be chaos can you hear me foreign and [Music] um you know that there have been many amendments due to llm deployment do you think uh how can we integrate the use and actual use of this llm in a non-controlled way in the the current discussion translation thank you safe llm use okay just a second no please it will answer the question it wasn't about safe safety and llms or sorry I didn't hear the whole question it's like a safe application of llms or or what is it the regulations integrates the the llm okay and protect us from the Jews and those things okay sure okay when the regulation has been created llm didn't exist so what would be your suggestion regarding regulating llms well I think more broadly um there should be um regulatory insight into llms and and really any other form of AI I mean there's I'm not sure I I don't think LMS are the ultimate form of AI um I mean there's sort of inside joke on AI of like who do you think will be the American president in 2032 diffusion or Transformers those are inside jokes but yeah it's like what does that mean um but that like might be a real it might be real um so yeah so we will have the dresses here the two latest questions one here and one in that region so go ahead thank you see it off [Music] I mean no if we don't listen to the question we will not be able to continue well [Music] and we have um which is the 13 under my question is what business young people should focus on uh sure [Applause] well I think generally I think it's important to focus on something go ahead sorry I think um you want to focus on something that you are personally passionate about that you personally care about um it's very hard to be motivated for a product that you don't really feel strongly about um and it doesn't have to be high-tech it could be in any in any field it's just it's got to be a product that you feel is is really needs to be there that that and something that you personally love um and I would listen to your instincts on on you know do do you love this product or service um because it's kind of impossible to know what do other people love but if you love it that's a good sign um and um and that could that could be small to large any kind of any field it's it doesn't have to be high tech but if if you don't love if you if you don't really love the product that you're making if you can't like a good test would be that you can't wait for this product to be on the market and if that's the case you're you're going in the right direction great uh the last question we have we have a friend I don't know we have a French saying which is wait [Applause] no no you you another kid foreign [Applause] he's asking foreign that you will see your link is going to be a fairly slow process because anything that's done in humans it's very slow so sometimes people think that this suddenly we're going to be tripping everyone's head and then before they know it everyone's connected to the internet and then we're in trouble with your brain um so it's going to happen very slowly hopefully later this year we'll do our first uh human device implantation and this will be for someone that has sort of tetraplegic quadriplegic does not have it has lost the connection from their their brain to their body and we think we should be able to that person will be able to communicate uh as fast as someone who has a fully functional body um so that's going to be a big deal and we and we see a path beyond that to actually transfer the signals from the motor cortex of the brain to pass the injury in the spinal cord and actually enable someone's body to be used again so um essentially shunting the signals past the broken point and and restore potentially full full body um use to someone that has completely lost the connection and I mean you can imagine like if say Stephen Hawking were alive today what a profound change that would be um and um so that's our first application and uh if uh it's looking like that the first case will be later this year so yeah fantastic no I would like a very very warm Rose of Applause to Elon Musk [Applause] okay thank you thank you oh oh thank you I just want to say you guys are great you guys are I mean it's it's so inspiring to see so much energy and so much positive energy uh in the room so uh this is very inspiring for the future thank you okay thank you it's gonna be crazy [Music]
