On xAI by Elon Musk, Dan Hendrycks is now the director of the charity Centre for AI Safety and a machine learning researcher.
In May, the CEOs of OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, and hundreds of other AI specialists signed a Statement on AI Risk . Over 90% of the organization’s funding comes from Open Philanthropy. This is a nonprofit managed by a couple involved in the contentious Effective Altruism movement.
What exactly is xAI by Elon Musk?
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence firm, xAI, was recently announced. According to a statement on the xAI website, the 12-person team intends to “understand the true nature of the universe.”
xAI is separate from X Corp, the parent company of Twitter, but will “work closely” with Musk’s other companies, including Twitter and Tesla, which employs AI for self-driving cars. “I’m not sure what the deal is with the Xs,” explains Catherine Flick of De Mont fort University in the United Kingdom. “He obviously just likes Xs.”
Why did Musk create xAI?
It is a continuation of Musk’s interest in AI. It marks his return to the sector after withdrawing financing from OpenAI in 2018. Musk had been the company’s major financier since its inception in 2015. This is when he announced $1 billion in investment on stage at an academic conference.
Musk reportedly left OpenAI after his offer to take over as CEO was denied by co-founder Sam Altman, fearing the company had lost ground against Google in creating AI technology. He has since taken potshots at OpenAI on Twitter, including attacking a change in how it was funded when it transitioned from a non-profit to a for-profit enterprise with a $30 billion valuation.
What is the xAI company’s goal?
Aside from striving to comprehend the cosmos, it appears likely that xAI will create a safer, equitable AI system. Musk previously signed a letter advocating for a halt in the development of AI systems. Safety concerns were cited by Elon about their unbridled progress.Véliz points out that someone who said earlier this year that AI development should be suspended is now limbering up to compete in the race. “It appears that he is doing the opposite, fueling the AI arms race,” Véliz argues.
She is especially concerned about the possible connections between xAI and another Musk-backed initiative called TruthGPT.
