Elon Musk has reportedly approached AI researchers in recent weeks about forming a new research lab to develop an alternative to ChatGPT

Elon Musk has reportedly approached AI researchers in recent weeks about forming a new research lab to develop an alternative to ChatGPT, per the Information.

Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Sam Altman, president of startup accelerator Y Combinator, in 2015 to keep tabs on AI development and served as its chairman until 2018 when he stepped down.

Recently, Musk said: “AI is one of the greatest threats to the survival of humanity,” Musk said at the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, immediately after discussing the creation of ChatGPT.

“It has great, great potential, incredible capacity and is both positive and bad,” Musk added. Yet, he added, “with that comes huge peril.”

“ChatGPT has demonstrated to people precisely how advanced AI has grown,” Musk says. “AI has been improving for a while. It just didn’t have a user interface that most people could utilise.”

“To be honest, I think we need to regulate AI safety,” Musk remarked. “I believe it poses a greater risk to civilization than cars, aircraft, or medicine.”

Regulation “may slow down AI a little bit, but I believe that would be a good thing,” Musk noted.

Musk stepped down from OpenAI’s board of directors in 2018 and no longer owns a share in the firm.

“It started off as an open-source nonprofit. It’s now closed-source and for-profit. I have no open investment in OpenAI, am not on the board, and have no authority over it.”

Musk has revealed that what we need is “TruthGPT.”
