Elon Musk wants to create a generative AI rival to artificial intelligence phenom ChatGPT. In an interview with TV host Tucker Carlson on Monday, Musk confirmed he has plans to create a “third option” in the AI race between Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Alphabet’s DeepMind.
The Tesla chief and owner of Twitter confirmed he intends to get involved in the AI race sparked by OpenAI’s intelligent chatbot. Seeing Microsoft and Google as “the two heavyweights” leading the pack presently, Musk offered that he would “create a third option.” He did not volunteer details on the advanced AI system he would seek to create. The new AI company could be part of his plans to build an everything app called X. During Monday’s interview, Musk expressed concern about the control and influence that Microsoft has over OpenAI, and the startup’s transition away from being a nonprofit operation.
He said he was worried that chatbots had become too politically correct, and that his AI company would focus on truth and trying to “understand the nature of the universe.”
