Elon Musk recently announced his plans to start a rival to the Microsoft-backed AI chatbot ChatGPT. He calls it ‘TruthGPT’, which will be an AI system focused on understanding the nature of the universe. Musk believes that this kind of AI system is less likely to cause harm to humans, because it will be more interested in understanding the universe, rather than destroying it. In order to launch the project, Musk has been poaching AI researchers from Alphabet Inc. (Google). Recently, Musk registered a firm called X.AI Corp, included himself as the sole director and Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk’s family office, as the secretary.
Musk is an entrepreneur, inventor and investor who has achieved massive success in various tech-related areas. He is the founder and CEO of Tesla, the founder and co-chairman of OpenAI, and the founder and CEO of SpaceX. Musk’s end goal is to create a type of artificial intelligence to assist and augment human activities. For example, Musk’s Tesla company recently released an AI-powered “Autopilot” feature that can autonomously drive the car to its destination. Tesla’s Autopilot system is expected to get smarter and more efficient in the future as more and more data is collected by the AI system.
OpenAI is a non-profit AI research laboratory co-chaired by Musk. The OpenAI’s mission is to “advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity,” and its researchers have made several breakthroughs in the field. For example, their researchers recently developed a type of AI system based on natural language processing that can generate coherent dialogue about any given topic, which has proven to be an invaluable asset for conversational AI systems.
Overall, Elon Musk’s ‘TruthGPT’ project is an exciting new venture that could have potential implications for the future of AI technology. By utilizing a maximum truth-seeking AI to understand the universe, its possible to build an AI system that is less likely to cause harm to humans, and Musk’s OpenAI is on the leading edge of this new technology.
