Elon Musk: Elon Musk, a billionaire, announced that he would introduce a platform for artificial intelligence (AI) dubbed “TruthGPT,” in what appears to be a competition to ChatGPT, the well-liked chatbot from OpenAI. In an interview with Tucker Carlson of the Fox News Channel that will show later on Monday, Elon Musk said, “I’m going to start something which I call ‘TruthGPT,’ or a maximal truth-seeking AI that seeks to understand the nature of the universe.
Musk has been stealing AI experts from Alphabet Inc.’s Google
According to some sections of the interview, “And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe,” he stated. Reuters contacted Musk for comment, but he did not answer right away. According to people familiar with the situation, Musk has been stealing AI experts from Alphabet Inc.’s Google in order to found a company that will compete with OpenAI. According to a state filing, Musk registered X.AI Corp, a Nevada-incorporated company, last month. The company listed Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk’s family office, as a secretary and Musk as the only director.
Creating systems that are more potent than GPT-4
The action was taken despite Musk and a group of industry leaders and specialists in artificial intelligence calling for a six-month moratorium on creating systems that are more potent than OpenAI’s recently released GPT-4, citing potential threats to society. The portions from the conversation with Carlson show that Musk repeated his cautions about AI, stating that “AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production.”

Musk is now in charge of Twitter
On Saturday, he tweeted that he had spoken with former American President Barack Obama and advised him that Washington needed to “encourage AI regulation.” Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but he left the organization’s board of directors in 2018. He tweeted in 2019 that he had to concentrate on Tesla and SpaceX and had quit OpenAI. In addition to running Tesla and SpaceX, Musk is now in charge of Twitter, a social media site he paid $44 billion for last year. Microsoft Corp. launched a second multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI in January, escalating rival Google’s fight and igniting the race for AI funding in Silicon Valley.
