You can see a series of tweets that he posted on Twitter below, about why he thinks AI will be responsible for World War three.
China, Russia, soon all countries w strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo.

May be initiated not by the country leaders, but one of the AI’s, if it decides that a prepemptive strike is most probable path to victory

The series of tweets came after Russia’s president Vladimir Putin said that “artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind … It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”
