tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is reported to be developing plans to create a artificial intelligence (AI) startup to compete with the maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI, one of the most popular generative artificial intelligence companies that he co-founded in 2015.
The disclosure came after reports emerged that Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers, according to the Financial Times. While Musk left the OpenAI board in 2018, the launch of the AI โโstartup will position Musk among other tech giants like Google and Microsoft to build next-generation AI.
The report suggests that Musk is in talks with existing investors from SpaceX and Tesla regarding investments in the upcoming artificial intelligence company. โA lot of people are investing in it. . . it's real and they're excited about it," the FT source added.
In the coming months, we will use AI to detect and highlight the manipulation of public opinion on this platform.
