Elon Musk stops allowing OpenAI to access Twitter data due to concerns regarding the lack of payment

Per BI

Elon Musk previously decided that Twitter would no longer provide OpenAI data. This came as the CEO said he felt the approximately $2 million yearly payment by the ChatGPT creator.

Just a few weeks after OpenAI officially launched its ChatGPT tool in December, Twitter stripped the tool from access to its data. In a report by The New York Times, two people familiar with the matter said that Elon Musk himself was the one who made the decision.

Elon Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI who had to leave due to potential conflict with Tesla since the latter was also into AI, reportedly felt that OpenAI's yearly approximately $2 million wasn't enough for access to the company's data.

Aside from stopping access from OpenAI to Twitter, Musk had been criticizing ChatGPT, saying that there were issues regarding biases and that the chatbot had the ability to lie. Musk has also made efforts to call for a six-month pause on AI development, signing an open letter with other AI experts.

Musk had also expressed concerns regarding creating a chatbot that would communicate similarly to OpenAI. The potential tool could be called "TruthGPT."

The Twitter CEO has also been talking with a University of Toronto researcher and professor, Jimmy Ba, regarding starting a new company.

Recently, Samsung imposed a ban on ChatGPT and other AI tools for its employees after it found out that the chatbot was being misused. The company said that it found that employees were "uploading sensitive code to ChatGPT."

The company launched a survey which found that 65% of respondents were concerned regarding AI services' security risks.

Elon Musk said that a mild recession was already here but that there was a chance of a "severe" recession still coming. He said that due to his companies' data, he had more insights than others regarding the economy.

This came as the Fed increased interest rates by 475 basis points over the past year.
