Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently revealed that he is joining the race of building Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. During his interview on Monday, April 17, Musk stated that he intends to create a third option to the leading AI competitors Microsoft and Google.
He also touched on the propensity of current AI chat bots to be politically correct, explaining that his AI focus will be aimed to understand the true nature of the universe. Such advances could provide insights and opportunities for users, from small companies to major institutions and investors.
This is not the first time Musk has forayed into the realm of AI. He previously founded OpenAI, a research company that utilizes AI, machine learning and deep learning research to develop projects with a goal of promoting artificial general intelligence. The OpenAI project created ChatGPT, a natural language processing model, and Google Dart, another AI-driven tool.
Besides the projects mentioned in his Speech, Elon Musk also has been investing in various AI-related startups and businesses to advance the current development of AI and robotic technologies. This is part of Musk’s overall ambition of creating interplanetary travel and making AI a safe and secure technology tool.
Furthermore, Musk also said he would be bringing AI tokens to the market. Still, more details are needed to understand this project better as he has been rather vague about the concept. AI tokens could serve as a currency to buy AI services, or even as a reward system to encourage people to share their unique data and insights.
As one of the most influential tech billionaires today, Elon Musk’s latest endeavour into AI is likely to revolutionize how artificial intelligence technology is used, opening doors for new opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. With Musk’s plans for AI tokens, the potential of this technology could become even more expansive in the near future.
