Elon Musk launches X.AI despite signing a call to pause generative AI development
Despite calling for a pause in the development of generative AI just last month, the entrepreneur has launched his own AI company. The call to pause came from hundreds of signatories, including Musk, who expressed concerns over the various risks associated with the technology. They questioned whether it is desirable to develop non-human minds that could ultimately outnumber and outsmart us.
Elon Musk played a significant role as a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015, but he departed from the company in 2018. Since then, he has criticized the firm, stating in a December tweet that it is training AI to be “woke,” a term describing a segment of the American left, which he interprets as “lying.”
