Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has revealed plans to launch a new AI initiative called “TruthGPT” in a taped interview that aired Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight”. The initiative will ostensibly compete with OpenAI, DeepMind and other similar AI businesses, as Musk believes they are imparting politically correct training to their systems. Musk expressed confidence that an AI that seeks to understand the universe is unlikely to cause any harm.
The billionaire technology entrepreneur additionally called for a federal regulatory board for AI technology, similar to the Federal Aviation Administration. In Musk’s opinion, this would lead to a better chance of AI being beneficial to humans.
