Entrepreneur and technology innovator Elon Musk is reportedly planning to launch a new AI startup to compete with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, the AI firm Musk co-founded in 2015. Financial Times recently published information about Musk amassing a team of AI researchers and engineers for the new initiative.
OpenAI is one of the world’s most popular artificial intelligence companies and it has attracted the interest of tech giants such as Google, Microsoft and more. Although, Musk left the board of OpenAI in 2018, the establishment of this new AI startup will put Musk in the same playing field as these tech juggernauts.
The Elon Musk-founded space exploration agency SpaceX is well-known for its achievements and has launched many innovative products and services. SpaceX has a vast portfolio consisting of satellites, reusable rockets and more. Now, with the new AI venture, Musk looks to redefine the world of Artificial Intelligence.
Aside from Musk’s original OpenAI venture, the entrepreneur also owns Neuralink, which is another AI startup that works on developing technology that implants tiny computers into human brains. The company has created devices that are inserted into a person’s skull from which signals from the brain can be sent to a computer device located outside.
Musk’s venture into AI does not come as a surprise because of his previous pioneering initiatives in this field. His companies have achieved remarkable milestones in the AI industry and have demonstrated creativity, innovation, and trend setting in the field. With the upcoming launch of his AI startup, Musk is potentially taking AI technologies to the next level.
The exact timeline of this new AI startup is still unknown as it is in its planning stages. However, knowing Elon Musk’s passion and enthusiasm, it is likely that this venture will one day grow into a major AI powerhouse.
