Through his lens (i.e., robotics) he's probably correct. On the other hand AI in the broader sense, isn't limited to robotics. For example, the financial industry comes to mind; as does the DoD.

When you think outside the robot, the lens changes, as does the scope. In that context, I would bet on Musk's interpretation.
