Elon Musk, a distinguished tech executive, is reportedly planning to form a new artificial intelligence(AI) organisation as a competitive counterpart to startup OpenAI, which he founded in 2015. According to the Financial Times, a team of AI scientists and engineers is already being assembled to complete the set up of the new firm.
In addition to leaving the OpenAI board in 2018, Musk is presently in talks with various tech behemoths such as Google, Microsoft and others in order to make a better AI product. Apparently, he is also engaging different investors of Tesla and SpaceX to finance this ambitious venture.
Furthermore, the conversation was augmented when it was revealed that Musk acquired approximately 10,000 GPU (Graphics Processing Units) in pursuit of enhancing Twitter’s AI technology, as mentioned by an anonymous source in April. To take it up a notch, he also changed Twitter’s title as X Corp according to certain business records with an intentions of creating a prominent ‘everything app’ under the X brand.
Contrary to this, Musk was among the many tech professionals, who signed an open letter in March, calling for a moratorium in further AI development because of potential risks to humanity.
OpenAI is a non-profit research organization which focuses on developing friendly artificial intelligence products. It was launched in December 2015 by Elon Musk and Sam Altman, with $1 billion from investors like Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, and Musk himself. The firm has since received numerous awards for its work on providing AI services to companies worldwide. Additionally, it is credited for discovering groundbreaking technologies like AlphaGo and GPT-3 which have had far-reaching implications on machine learning and artificial intelligence. OpenAI is also flexible in its approach – making contributions to the open source community alongside providing AI services to different industries.
