Elon Musk has recently approached AI researchers about establishing a new lab to create a substitute for OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to persons with firsthand knowledge of the project, as reported by the Information on Monday.
Igor Babuschkin, a researcher who just stepped away from Alphabet’s DeepMind AI division, has been sought after by Tesla and Twitter CEO Musk, according to the story. The study comes after ChatGPT, an OpenAI text-based chatbot that can create prose, poetry, or even computer code when instructed, attracted a lot of interest in Silicon Valley.
. “The danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly,” Musk tweeted”
It’s part of a new generation of AI systems that can converse, generate readable text on demand and even produce novel images and videos based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings, and other media. It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
It’s noteworthy that the ChatGPT AI is gaining popularity day by day with its servers running at full capacity almost any hours of the day with users from around the globe generating a varied plethora of data.
The tool is available for free to anyone with an internet connection and is designed to be more user-friendly. However, earlier this month, OpenAI said that it is planning to launch a paid version too.
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman as a nonprofit startup in 2015, stepped down from its board in 2018 but expressed his views on the chat, calling it “scary good.”
Citing an interview with Babuschkin,
the report said, Musk and Babuschkin discussed putting together a team to continue AI research, but the project is still in its early stages and there are no concrete plans to develop specific products. Babuschkin also added that he has not officially signed onto the Musk initiative as of yet.
Elon musk tweeted“ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerously strong AI“
In recent months Musk has repeatedly criticized OpenAI for installing safeguards that prevent ChatGPT from producing text that might offend users. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but has since cut ties with the startup, suggested last year that OpenAI’s technology was an example of “training AI to be woke.” His comments imply that a rival chatbot would have fewer restrictions on divisive subjects compared to ChatGPT and a related chatbot Microsoft recently launched.
While Musk insists that ChatGPT or AI as a whole has ‘both positives and negatives’ and shows great promise, he has also repeatedly predicted ‘great danger’ alongside. As such, the billionaire businessman has called for AI to be safely regulated.
