Considered an authority on artificial intelligence, Bill Gates often offers his thoughts on what he considers the The most important advance since the advent of the PC. However, the controversial Elon Musk has come out to question the alleged knowledge possessed by the Microsoft strongman.
The founder of SpaceX and Tesla has spent years warning about the risks that AI hides. and became one of the most critical voices of the shares of the startup OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT and of the solution that generates images from text DALLE-2.
With some authority on the matter, Elon Musk, who was part of the founding team of OpenAI in December 2015, has indicated that Gates I did not understand the progress artificial intelligence then and still not.
He said it in a tweet “I remember the first meetings with Gates. His understanding of artificial intelligences was limited. still is”Moss said.
Gates’ phrase that drove Musk crazy was “I’ve been meeting with the OpenAI team since 2016…”, implying that he was aware of the evolution of the software.
Twitter’s largest shareholder has been a member of OpenAI since 2018, when he put forward a bid to become its director, but the company has decided to take a more commercial course.
In fact, some of the anger goes back to that time, as Musk commented after his departure from OpenAI that his alliance with Microsoft was bad news, since he would form a dangerous monopoly.
On the other hand, Microsoft and OpenAI maintain a business relationship that has led Gates’ company to implement many of the current advances in artificial intelligence into its systems.
As a result, ChatGPT was integrated into the company’s Bing search engine, as well as producing other applications and enhancing Office programs by enabling tools that use artificial intelligence as a resource for content creation.
A battery of attacks
Musk also pointed out that OpenAI has gone from being a open source company come ever closer to becoming some sort of property division Microsofttechnology that has invested tens of billions of dollars in startups in recent years.
“OpenAI was created as a non-profit open source company (hence I called it ‘Open’ AI) to act as a counterweight to Google, but has now become a high profit, closed source company effectively controlled by Microsoft. » , the executive complained in a recent tweet.
Musk has since questioned the turn OpenAI was taking. He highlighted the biases and risks that, in the end, is not used to improve society and becomes a big deal in the hands of a small handful of companies.
In a post on his personal blog, Bill Gates said he understands the fear of people who don’t want to be replaced by machines. However, he added that this technology is not intended to force humans out of work, but to help them.
“Artificial intelligence is one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization,” Musk said a few weeks ago at the World Government Summit in Dubai, where he reiterated the importance of regulating the technology internationally.
