ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, now a Microsoft company, has become popular and the tech giant is investing $10 billion in it to make it more useful for all industries.
Musk said that OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), a non-profit company that serves as a counterpoint to Google.
“But now it has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company that is effectively controlled by Microsoft. That was not my intention at all,” the Twitter CEO posted.
He replied to a follower who said: “Elon Musk says AI is ‘one of the biggest risks’ to civilization and needs to be regulated. He co-founded OpenAI.”
ChatGPT is an advanced form of AI powered by the GPT-3 large language model. It is programmed to recognize human language and generate responses based on massive amounts of data.
According to Musk, “ChatGPT showed people how advanced AI has become. AI has been advanced for a while. It just didn’t have a user interface that was accessible to most people”.
Musk stepped down from OpenAI’s board of directors in 2018 and no longer holds any stake in the company.
“Initially, it was created as an open-source non-profit. Now it is closed-source and for-profit. I do not have an open stake in OpenAI, nor am I on the board, nor do I represent it in any way. Kind of controlled.”
As part of his decision to create OpenAI, Musk said that Google was not paying enough attention to AI security.
