American entrepreneur Elon Musk has created the company X.AI in Nevada, which will work in the field of artificial intelligence, writing The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing documents.
According to the newspaper, Musk is the sole director of the company, his secretary is chief financial officer Jared Birchall, who was hired last month. The businessman also hired a scientist from Alphabet’s DeepMind AI Lab, Igor Babushkin, and tried to invite OpenAI employees who developed the GPTchat chatbot, but to no avail.
The WSJ wrote the day before that Musk’s other companies, Tesla and Twitter, are now assembling a team and negotiating to raise capital in a startup with their investors.
Previously, Musk had worried about the development of artificial intelligence. In late March, SpaceX founder, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and more than 1,000 other experts called for a suspension of training for more powerful artificial intelligence systems than the recently introduced GPT-4. . The letter stated that AI could pose serious risks to humanity and should therefore be developed and managed with care. AI labs are caught in an uncontrolled race to develop and deploy ever more powerful “digital minds” that even their creators cannot control, experts say.
In 2020, the billionaire told the New York Times that “smart people don’t think a computer can ever be as smart as them,” but that’s a misconception.
The Eastern Herald also spoke with artificial intelligence researcher Sergey Karelov, author of the Telegram channel “Little Known Interesting”, who explained how and why systems like ChatGPT can destroy humanity and whether AI has its own vision of the world.
