American billionaire assembles a team of researchers and engineers for an artificial intelligence startup

American businessman Elon Musk founded an artificial intelligence company called X.Ai. It is registered in the state of Nevada. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal.

According to the newspaper, Musk became the company’s sole director. We know that the sale of 100 million of its shares is authorized.

Earlier, the Financial Times wrote about Musk’s plans to launch an artificial intelligence startup that could challenge ChatGPT OpenAI. For these purposes, the billionaire creates a team of engineers and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. One of the main employees of the British DeepMind Igor Babushkin and six other engineers of this company have already been invited.

Interestingly, in late March, Musk put his signature to an open letter from IT industry officials expressing concern about the possible harm to society from artificial intelligence systems. Experts have suggested limiting the training of AI systems to GPT-4 until common security protocols are created.

Musk previously co-founded OpelAI. Last November, the company released a demo version of the ChatGPT chatbot to perform a number of tasks using artificial intelligence technologies. A month ago, GPT-4, the latest version of the AI ​​language model, was introduced. According to the assurances of the management of the company, he demonstrates a performance “on a human scale”.
