. Billionaire Elon Musk has announced plans to launch a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform called "TruthGPT" in response to offerings from Microsoft and Google. He has accused OpenAI of "training the AI to lie" and of being a "for-profit" company. Musk plans to create a "maximum truth-seeking AI" for Artificial Intelligence safety. His platform is expected to compete against OpenAI, which he founded in 2015. Microsoft recently invested billions of dollars into this initiative. Join the race for the best AI in Silicon Valley and find out more about Musk's mission.
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.

Dominion Voting Systems has taken Fox News to court, with a defamation case that seeks $1.6 billion in damages. The case relates to false claims made by Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell in relation to the election, which were broadcast by Fox. Proceedings got underway in the Delaware Superior Court, with Fox attempting to settle the case before trial. Judge Eric M. Davis ruled largely in Dominion’s favor, and in preparation for a potentially lengthy trial, Abby Grossburg filed two lawsuits against Fox. Smartmatic, a rival election technology company, had filed a separate $2.7 billion suit against Fox in the New York courts.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently responded to a letter signed by tech leaders, including Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, which proposed to pause powerful AI experiments. During a virtual event at MIT, Altman shared his opinion and emphasized on the safety protocols suggested and the six-month research OpenAI conducted before the release of ChatGPT 4. Musk, Wozniak and over 1,000 other tech leaders believe AI experiments should resume responsibly and protocols should be set in place to ensure safe development.
