Speaking about the allure and perils of AI technology, the SpaceX boss also discussed the danger of forever staying on one planet. The South African billionaire who is known for his dream of colonising Mars, said the universe is likely peppered with long-gone alien civilisations. Mr Musk said: “It's funny, the universe appears to be 13.8 billion years old. Earth, like four-and-a-half billions years old. “In another half billion years or so, the Sun will expand and probably evaporate the oceans and make life impossible on Earth. “Which means that if it had taken consciousness 10 percent longer to evolve, it would never have evoked at all, 10 percent longer. “And I wonder how many dead one-planet ciliations there out there in the cosmos, that never made it to the other planet and ultimately extinguished themselves or were destroyed by external factors?
