Tesla CEO Elon Musk has founded an artificial intelligence (AI) company called X.AI that would reportedly rival ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, according to Nevada business records.
According to the state filing, Musk is the only listed director of X.AI, while Jared Birchall, director of Musk’s family office, is listed as the company’s secretary.
Ironically, Musk has launched an AI firm after having repeatedly warned against the dangers of AI. Clearly, he left OpenAI over a power struggle and not over the potentially existential threats generative AI may pose. Musk's motives for starting an AI company are purely business — he wants to get even with OpenAI and reap billions of the futuristic technology.
ChatGPT praises left-leaning politicians like Joe Biden but refuses to do the same for right-winger Donald Trump. It's dangerously biased, with a distinctly liberal viewpoint on issues like diversity and transgender rights, which is why Musk is working to fight “woke” AI. Musk just wants to shake up the basis of today’s generative AI apps, challenge what they produce, and possibly eliminate problematic proclivities.
