Even while he continues to be actively involved in the development of AI, Elon Musk has issued a new warning that it may result in the “destruction of civilizations.” He claims that his new company, Neuralink, will compete with Open AI’s ChatGpt and Google’s BARD.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally altered the world, making it possible to manage and influence every aspect of daily life, including education, medicine, science, music, and daily activities. Musk has recently issued numerous warnings about the perils of AI, and last month he signed an open letter, along with other top tech executives, calling for a six-month halt to the “out of control” race for AI research.
In December 2022, Open AI, a business that Musk helped start before he departed, released ChatGPT, a development that had a profound impact on society. Millions of questions may be answered by Chat GPT, and it can produce articles on any topic, including law, literature, and science. It is capable of writing songs, books, and chemical calculations with ease. It’s a substantial intelligence search engine that can quickly provide any data.
“AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production, in the sense that it is, it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction,” Musk said in his interview with Tucker Carlson, which is set to air in two parts on Monday and Tuesday night, April 18.
Musk said in the interview he supports government regulation into AI, even though “it’s not fun to be regulated.” Once AI “may be in control,” it could be too late to place regulations, Musk said.
“A regulatory agency needs to start with a group that initially seeks insight into AI, then solicits opinion from industry, and then has proposed rule-making,” Musk said.
Musk a founding member of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT says the evolution of OpenAI is “not what I intended at all.”
Musk told Carlson he put “a lot of effort” into creating OpenAI to serve as a counterweight to Google, but took his “eye off the ball.”
Now, Musk said he wants to create a rival to the AI products of tech giants Microsoft and Google. In his interview with Carlson, Musk said “we’re going to start something which I call TruthGPT.” Musk described it as a “maximum truth-seeking AI” that “cares about understanding the universe.”
“Hopefully there’s more good than harm,” Musk said.
The Financial Times reported last week that Musk is building a team of AI researchers and engineers, as well as seeking investors for a new venture, citing people familiar with the billionaire’s plans.
