  <body><![CDATA[<p>Ian Bogost, professor in the Georgia Tech School of Literature, Media, and Communication,&nbsp;was mentioned in an article in&nbsp;<em>The Atlantic</em>&nbsp;&ldquo;Why Zuckerberg and Musk Are Fighting about the Robot Future&rdquo;</p>

<p>Excerpt:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are having a spat about whether or not artificial intelligence is going to kill us all.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Musk, the chief of Tesla and SpaceX, who has&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/doomsday-invention-artificial-intelligence-nick-bostrom">longstanding worries</a>&nbsp;about the potentially apocalyptic future of artificial intelligence (AI), recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/17/15980954/elon-musk-ai-regulation-existential-threat">returned</a>&nbsp;to that soapbox,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/17/15980954/elon-musk-ai-regulation-existential-threat">making an appeal</a>&nbsp;for proactive regulations on AI. &ldquo;I keep sounding the alarm bell,&rdquo; he told attendees at a National Governors Association meeting this month. &ldquo;But until people see robots going down the street killing people, they don&rsquo;t know how to react.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/videos/10103911836230631/">Facebook Live broadcast</a>, Zuckerberg, Facebook&rsquo;s CEO, offered riposte. He called Musk a &ldquo;naysayer&rdquo; and accused his doomsday fears of unnecessary negativity. &ldquo;In some ways I actually think it is pretty irresponsible,&rdquo; Zuckerberg scolded. Musk then&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/889743782387761152">retorted on Twitter</a>: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited.&rdquo;</p>
