Elon Musk unveils his new AI startup with a team of top researchers but a vague mission
Associated PressElon Musk is finally starting to talk about the artificial intelligence company he founded to compete with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. Led by Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX who also owns Twitter, the new startup centered in the San Francisco Bay Area has hired a group of top AI researchers who formerly worked at OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Tesla. It will be independent from Twitter’s new parent company, X Corp., but will work closely with that company, as well as Tesla, “to make progress towards our mission,” according to a statement. Musk told Carlson that OpenAI’s popular chatbot had a liberal bias and that he planned an alternative that would be a “maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe.” The startup reflected Musk’s long-voiced concerns about a future in which AI systems could present an existential risk to humanity. Musk was one of the tech leaders who earlier this year called for AI developers to agree to a six-month pause before building systems more powerful than OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-4.
