Elon Musk has just announced his new AI platform 'TruthGPT'. The platform aims to challenge existing AI initiatives from Microsoft and Google, and explore the intricate workings of the universe. Musk calls for a six months' moratorium on the development of AI systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-4, and warns of the dangers of its mismanagement. Get a first look at both Elon Musk's initiative and the race for AI investment in Silicon Valley.
Elon Musk has caused a stir in AI by proposing a new platform to rival OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft. He speaks out against them, claiming they are a "closed-source, for-profit organization" and accuses Larry Page, co-founder of Google, of not taking AI safety seriously. Musk has since created a "maximum truth-seeking AI" called "TruthGPT", promising improved AI safety. He has taken steps to launch a competing platform, poaching AI researchers from Google and setting up a firm in Nevada. He believes AI will be more dangerous than mismanaged design and warns of "civilizational destruction". He has called for a six-month pause on developing more powerful AI than OpenAI's GPT-4. His own venture in Twitter has ended in selling the company for "less than half" the purchase price. OpenAI, Page and Musk have not responded to Reuters so far.
