Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of Twitter, reaffirmed on Friday his view that there should be a 'pause' on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and that the sector needed regulation.

"There is a real danger for digital superintelligence having negative consequences," said Musk, at the Paris VivaTech event.

"I am in favour of AI regulation," he added.

Musk also said that the Twitter platform was seeing "all-time highs in usage", adding that almost all advertisers which had previously left Twitter had come back, or had said they would come back.
