Elon Musk's xAI: Exploring the Nature of Reality
A new artificial intelligence company led by Elon Musk has been revealed, dubbed xAI, which stands for 'x artificial intelligence.' The team boasts some big names from the AI space, including DeepMind, OpenAI, Google, Tesla, and others, with Musk himself leading the venture. Dan Hendrycks, director of the Center for AI Safety, is advising, and xAI is separate from Musk’s company established earlier this year as a successor to Twitter, but it will work closely with X, Tesla, and other companies.
Musk previously mentioned his interest in artificial intelligence with his project TruthGPT, a truth-seeking AI that he said could help humanity steer clear of an existential threat. The xAI website invites interested followers to meet the team and ask questions in a Twitter Spaces chat on July 14.
“At xAI, we are committed to understanding the nature of reality,” the website says. “We are serious about this mission and will make progress toward it by collaborating with other companies.”
Musk’s decision to reveal the company three days before the online showcase reflects a similar clever move he made earlier this year when he revealed his new rocket Starship ahead of its first test flight, which ended in an explosion on the platform at sea. Perhaps we’re in for a series of reveals about xAI moving forward, which could make for an exciting venture into the world of AI.
