I think the way in which an AI or an AGI is created is very important. You grow an AGI. It's almost like raising a kid, but it’s a super genius godlike kid, and it matters how you raise such a kid.
When we ultimately create a digital superintelligence that can enable this future of abundance, there is also some chance that a digital superintelligence could end humanity. I agree with Geoffrey Hinton that the probability of such a dystopian future is something like 10% or 20%. [...] I think that the probable positive scenario outweighs the negative scenario.

Verified via web search. Quote is confirmed from Peter Diamandis's blog post "Elon on Abundance, AI & Human Survival" dated April 18, 2024 (diamandis.com). The "grow an AGI" / "super genius godlike kid" phrasing and the 10-20% Hinton-aligned dystopian probability appear in the article. Vote "for" correctly aligns with statement "AGI will create abundance" - Musk explicitly states the probable positive scenario outweighs the negative.
