Elon Musk is reputedly launching an artificial intelligence (AI) startup to rival OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers, and is in discussions with investors in SpaceX and Tesla about putting money into the new venture. This news comes weeks after musk and other AI researchers called for a pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI’s GPT-4. The use of generative AI is facing pushback from regulators over privacy concerns, and Italy has already banned ChatGPT. Musk has secured thousands of graphics processing units from Nvidia for the new venture, and he recently registered a firm named X.AI Corp. in Nevada.
