Billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk has registered a new development company in the segment of artificial intelligence (AI) called X.AI. It is reported Financial Times і The Wall Street Journal.
According to the media, the company was registered in Nevada on March 9. Musk himself is indicated as a director, and the secretary is former Morgan Stanley banker Jared Birchall, who manages the billionaire's fortune.
Currently, the head of Tesla and Twitter is assembling a team of researchers and engineers in the field of artificial intelligence and has already purchased "thousands of graphics processors from Nvidia", people familiar with the situation said.
According to the latter, Musk is also negotiating with a number of investors from SpaceX and Tesla regarding the financing of a new startup.
It was previously reported that the billionaire is in talks with AI researchers, including DeepMind AI staff, to set up a new research lab to develop an alternative to the ChatGPT chatbot.
It is interesting that at the same time Musk declares the potential of AI to destroy human civilization. Those who believe that such a risk does not exist, he called "idiots".
Before that, Musk, along with a number of scientists, developers and entrepreneurs, signed an open letter in March calling for an immediate suspension for at least six months of training artificial intelligence systems more powerful than GPT-4.
