We might have AI that is smarter than any human by end of this year, and no later than next year. And probably 2030 or 2031 -- 5 years from now -- AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively. [...] I said years ago that humans are just the 'biological bootloader' for digital superintelligence. This supersonic tsunami-like change no longer allows us to press the pause button.

Quote attributed to Elon Musk, from Davos 2026 (WEF). The source_url (weforum.org) returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the content across many outlets: Musk predicted AI smarter than any human by end of 2026 (no later than next year), AI exceeding the sum of all human intelligence by ~2030-2031, repeated his "humanity is a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence" line, and the "supersonic tsunami-like change [that] no longer allows us to press the pause button." Attribution correct, year 2026, relevant. Vote "for" on statement 177 ("AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence") aligns strongly: Musk explicitly forecasts a rapid progression from human-level AI to collective superintelligence within a few years.
