xAI, Elon Musk’s secure artificial intelligence

Elon Musk He will have his follies, but you have to admit him your responsibility with AI. Let’s remember that is one of the founders of OpenAI, whose initial goal was to develop secure and open artificial intelligence. He left when he stopped being open and put the business before putting limits on the AI ​​​​so that it does not destroy us, or turn us into its pets.

But you also have to be realistic, and it is obvious that Elon Musk wants his share of the business in a new industry of artificial intelligence that will move billions of euros in the coming years. A perfectly coherent decision, on the other hand, since Musk’s companies, such as Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink or Neuralink, already work with artificial intelligence.

With xAIElon Musk commits to develop safe and responsible AI models. That is why he has hired Dan Hendrycks as a company advisor. Hendrycks is director of the Center for AI Security.

This is the rest of the team that make up xAI:

They all are artificial intelligence experts who have previously worked on DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto.

They have participated in and led the development of some of the greatest advances in this field, such as AlphaStar, AlphaCode, Inception, Minerva, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

The xAI website also explains that the new company is “Independent of X Corp, but we will work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla and other companies to advance our mission“.

Elon Musk’s new AI company xAI is up and running. We’ll see if it offers a alternative to ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion, and how it copes “the search for the true nature of the universe“.
