Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla Motors, has made waves in the AI community with his latest idea. He recently revealed plans to launch a “maximum truth-seeking AI” he calls ‘TruthGPT’ (Truth General Purpose Technology). He stated that an AI with a focus on understanding the universe could potentially be a safer alternative to other AI models, such as ChatGPT and the recently released Bing-integrated engine ChatGPT, and Google’s Bard AI.
“With TruthGPT, our goal is to create an artificial intelligence that is focused on understanding the nature of the universe, and therefore likely to not have any major negative consequences for humanity,” Musk said during his interview with Fox News on Monday night.
The desire to launch a truth-seeking AI is not new for Elon Musk. He previously co-founded OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research lab, in 2015 with the intention of creating a safe and beneficial AI. However, after concerns arose about a possible conflict of interest, Musk stepped down as chairman in 2018. The worries about the possible destructive power of AI still remain, with Musk noting the risk that mismanaged artificial intelligence has the potential to lead to civilizational destruction.
In a bid to assess the capabilities of the existing AI models, CNET, a technology website, put them to the test through comparing responses. Out of all of the AI engines, ChatGPT was found to produce the most human-like answers.
Elon Musk’s AI ambitions span long before TruthGPT, and his passion to find solutions to this new technology is further demonstrated with his open letter in the research labs suggesting a break in artificial intelligence development.
