Elon Musk Talks About OpenAI
Elon Musk has had hit tryst with artificial intelligence as he was one of the co-founders of OpenAI. The company, which now owns and operates ChatGPT, is backed by Microsoft.
On Friday, the billionaire took to Twitter to ascertain his belief from five years back that AI is ‘far more dangerous than nukes’. “OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all,” he tweeted.
