Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a bold prediction in August this year. Sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk s ai d that artificial intelligence (AI) will increase the birth rate . “AI is obviously gonna one-shot the human limbic system,” he then wrote in the post, adding “That said, I predict – counter-intuitively – that it will *increase* the birth rate! Mark my words.” “Also, we’re gonna program it that way,” the tech billionaire wrote.
Elon Musk has been raising concerns over declining population growth and birth rates in countries across the globe. In a previous post, the Tesla CEO said that “low birth rate is the number one threat to the West, followed closely by immigration. There will be no West if this continues”. He also warned about Japan losing nearly a million people by the end of 2025.
Elon Musk’s population warning
As mentioned above, he has repeatedly warned about population collapse, saying it is the real existential threat to civilization. Musk earlier argued that declining birth rates could lead to economic stagnation, labour shortages, and even civilizational decline if not addressed.
“Most people still think the world is overpopulated,” Musk said in earlier interviews. “It’s actually the opposite.”
Japan has been the focal point for population collapse, but Elon Musk’s warning also applies to other nations such as South Korea, Italy and parts of Eastern Europe as they are also facing similar trends. This issue of population collapse has also sparked the interests of pro-natalist policies, immigration reform, and even the role of AI and robotics in offsetting labor gaps.
