Elon Musk intends to counter the artificial intelligence efforts of Microsoft and Google with “an AI that seeks the truth” and eschews political correctness, he said in an interview broadcast by Fox news on Monday.
The billionaire owner of Twitter and Tesla has again expressed concern about the danger of artificial intelligence (AI), saying it has “the potential to destroy civilization”.
Musk added that he is concerned that ChatGPT, created by “startup” OpenAI, is being taught to be politically correct. “I’m going to launch something called TruthGPT, or an AI that searches for the absolute truth and tries to understand the nature of the universe,” said the businessman.
According to Musk, this AI would see humans as an interesting part of the universe and would decide not to “exterminate humans.”
According to company documents, the billionaire founded an artificial intelligence company X.AI, based in the US state of Nevada. Musk recently merged Twitter with newly formed shell company “X” and kept the brand name for the platform, but not the company.
Elon Musk founded a rival OpenAI company several weeks before joining experts who signed an open letter calling for a general pause in AI technology development.
Signatories argued that the pause should serve to strengthen regulation and ensure the security of AI systems. Large tech companies such as Google, Meta and Microsoft have been working for years on artificial intelligence systems, formerly known as machine learning or big datato help with translations, research and targeted advertising.
Late last year, OpenAI sparked interest in artificial intelligence with the launch of ChatGPT, which can generate text from a short question.
Musk co-founded OpenAI, but left the company in 2018. Since then, Microsoft has announced that it is investing millions of dollars in OpenAI and using its technology to run its online search engine. bing.
