Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX, was one of the early investors and co-founders of OpenAI, an artificial intelligence (AI) company. On a recent interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Musk discussed his opinion on AI and its potential threat on civilian destruction. He was highly critical of OpenAI, mentioning that the company “trained AI to lie”, and goes against the goals he initially set out for OpenAI to be open-source and nonprofit.
Musk also reveals his intentions to launch a new AI venture called “TruthGPT”. It is a machine-learning technology to “understand the nature of the universe”. After journalist Benny Johnson asked if he was considering to sue OpenAI for being fraud, Musk replied with three words: “We shall see”.
OpenAI is run by Microsoft and backed with some of the world’s biggest technology companies such as Alphabet Incorporation (parent company of Google). It has been alleged that Musk broke his promise of donating $1 billion to the OpenAI project, with contributions of only $100 million to the company prior to leaving.
