Elon Musk says AI will master all fields by 2028
Elon Musk says AI could master every field by 2027 or 2028, calling AI researcher François Chollet's prediction conservative. Musk has repeatedly brought forward his timeline for AI surpassing human intelligence.

Elon Musk says AI will master all fields by the end of next year or 2028 max. Back in 2021, AI researcher Franois Chollet posted a thread on X (then Twitter) predicting how things are going to change within 10 to 20 years. His argument was almost every branch of science – physics, chemistry, biology, even archaeology – would basically become a branch of computer science.

He compared it to something that already happened. In 2000, if you'd said "most companies will be tech companies," people would've laughed. Twenty years later, Walmart and FedEx run on software just as much as they run on trucks and shelves. Nobody argues about that anymore.
Fast forward to almost five years. Chollet reposted the thread now with a simple note: the prediction that got so much pushback in 2021 is "looking obvious by the day now."
That's when Elon Musk jumped into the replies. He called Chollet's timeline “conservative” and said, “AI will beat all fields by the end of next year or maybe 2028, at the latest”.
Now Musk may be calling Chollet’s prediction conservative because he believes AI progress is accelerating far faster than the 10–20 year timeline Chollet outlined. If Chollet's claim just means AI becoming a genuinely essential tool in every scientific discipline, running simulations, crunching data, spotting patterns humans would miss, that's arguably already happening, and maybe even happening ahead of schedule.
