The businessman wants to create his own ChatGPT.
Elon Musk wants to forcefully enter the world of artificial intelligence, for which the billionaire would be forming a work team in order to create a tool that competes with ChatGPT.
According to The Information, the Twitter CEO has already approached Igor Babuschkinun, a researcher who recently left Google’s DeepMind unit, to bring him to this project, which aims to create an AI laboratory.
The researcher told the outlet that this entire plan is in a very early stage of development and there are still no concrete ideas for a specific product. He hasn’t accepted Musk’s proposal either, although he would like to work with him.

Since the growing trend that this chatbot has had to create texts, the Tesla manager has criticized its operation and regulation through his Twitter account.
Some of his comments have been directed against Sam Altman, director of OpenIA, the company in charge of this artificial intelligence, assuring that “ChatGPT is terribly good. We are not far from dangerously strong AI.”

Then he again drew attention to the risks of progress in these technologies. “The danger of training the AI to wake up, in other words lie, is deadly,” she posted on his profile.
Criticism has widened against OpenIA, a company that he helped found and of which he assures that he changed his vision after agreements with larger companies.

“OpenAI was created as a non-profit Open Source company (hence I called it ‘Open’ AI) to serve as a counterbalance to Google, but has now become a closed, top-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. It’s not what I intended at all,” the billionaire said.
His speech against the chatbot and the company has been insistent, to the point of requesting regulation for these tools due to the dangers they can represent, due to the few regulations that currently exist.
“The challenge here is that regulation tends to be put in place as a reaction to when something bad happens. But if something bad happens with artificial intelligence, the reaction from a regulatory standpoint can be very slow,” Musk posted.
All this panorama suggests why the CEO of Twitter wants to enter the AI game with his own platform and technology, although Babuschkinun insisted that this plan is not aimed at competing against ChatGPT.
