Elon Musk, a billionaire, announced on Monday that he will introduce a platform for artificial intelligence (AI) he calls "TruthGPT" to compete with Microsoft and Google's products.
He accused OpenAI, the company behind the trending chatbot ChatGPT, which is supported by Microsoft, of "training the AI to lie" and said that OpenAI has since transformed into a "closed source," "for-profit" organisation "closely allied with Microsoft." Additionally, he charged Google co-founder Larry Page with not taking AI safety seriously.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson that aired on Monday, Musk claimed, "I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT', or a maximal truth-seeking AI that seeks to comprehend the essence of the universe.
TruthGPT, he claimed, "might be the best path to safety" and "unlikely to annihilate humans." It's only that it started late. But I'll work to come up with a third choice," Musk stated. Requests for comment from Reuters were not immediately answered by Musk, OpenAI, Microsoft, or Page.
