While recommending a book that focuses on a future that is built over cutting-age technology and artificial intelligence (AI), Elon Musk warned his followers on Twitter about the perils of such a future.

He said in a tweet on Saturday that AI is potentially more dangerous than nukes, reported CNET.

The report added that this is not the first time when Musk has voiced his concerns over a world fuelled by AI. He had earlier said in June that the future may give birth to a Terminator-like situation and that he keeps himself abreast of the latest developments by investing in AI companies.

However unlike Musk, other notable futurists like Google's Ray Kurzweil see the future in a much more positive and even romantic light, the report said.
