BREAKING: Elon Musk to start a ChatGPT rival?
According to The Information, Elon Musk has reached out to AI researchers with the aim of establishing a new research laboratory.
According to a report by The Information, Elon Musk has been in contact with AI researchers recently to explore the development of an alternative to ChatGPT.
The report cites sources with direct knowledge of the effort, stating that Musk approached AI researcher Igor Babuschkin, who previously worked on Alphabet's DeepMind AI, to form a research laboratory.
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Sam Altman but stepped down as its chairman in 2018 over concerns of a potential conflict of interest. Musk is currently occupied with running various businesses such as Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX, as well as overseeing the development of a humanoid robot through Tesla.
The report from The Information comes at a time when the competition to expand the use of artificial intelligence is intensifying, with ChatGPT and other similar AI systems capable of revolutionizing our online lives by generating responses to emails, summarizing reports, and answering questions in a conversational and creative tone.
The report notes that Musk and Babuschkin have discussed forming a team to pursue AI research, but the project is still in its early stages, and there are no concrete plans to develop specific products. Babuschkin also confirmed that he hasn't formally joined the project.
