Elon Musk tries to thwart the efforts of Microsoft AND Google in the field of artificial intelligence with a “AI Who Seeks the Truth” AND avoid political correctnesshe said in an interview broadcast later this Monday.
The billionaire head of Twitter and Tesla has again expressed concern about the danger of artificial intelligence (AI), stating so has a “civilization-destroying potential”.
“AI is more dangerous than, say, bad aircraft design or bad manufacturing maintenance or bad car manufacturing, in the sense that it has the potential – however small the probability, but it is not trivial — to destroy civilization,” Musk said in his interview with Tucker Carlsonwhich was released in two parts, one on Monday and another on Tuesday.
He added that he was concerned that the bot Chat GPT created by the OpenAI start-up it was being taught to be politically correct.
“I’ll start something called TruthGPTOR an artificial intelligence that seeks the absolute truth and try to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk said.
AI would see people as an interesting part of the Universe and would decide not to “annihilate humans”, according to Musk.
Musk said so on Monday supports government regulation of AI, even if it’s “no fun being regulated”. Once AI “can get the hang of it,” it may be too late to make regulations, Musk said.
“A regulatory agency needs to start with a group that initially seeks information about AI, then solicits industry input, and finally has a regulatory proposal,” Musk said.
The tycoon has created an artificial intelligence company X.AI based in the US state of Nevada, according to company documents.
For its part, Tesla is so confident in AI that it hosts an annual AI Day to promote its work.
It recently merged Twitter with a newly created shell company “X” and kept the brand name for the platform, but not the business.
Moss he started a rival company to OpenAI several weeks earlier to join experts who have signed an open letter urging a general pause on the development of AI technology.
The petitioners argued that the the pause should serve to strengthen regulation and ensure safety of AI systems.
Competition for artificial intelligence
Big tech companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft have been working on artificial intelligence systems, formerly known as machine learning or big data, to help with translations, research, and targeted advertising for years.
Late last year, OpenAI sparked interest in AI with the release of ChatGPT, which can generate text from a short question.
Ironically, Elon Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI, but left the company in 2018.
Since then, Microsoft has announced that it is investing billions of dollars in OpenAI and putting its technology to good use Bing online search service.
