The two recently debated a very wide range of topics (Mars, AI, aliens) at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Both Musk and Ma had very different answers about how the future of work and AI will impact employment, something PRI has talked about previously. Ma is optimistic about AI while Musk is more reserved.
