Musk to Offer Public Trial of His AI Chatbot, Calling It Best That Currently Exists
-
Elon Musk announced his AI company xAI will allow select users to try its chatbot this Saturday, calling it the "best that currently exists."
-
Musk created xAI to compete with OpenAI, which he co-founded but left in 2018. xAI aims for an AI that is "maximally curious and truth-seeking."
-
Musk has been critical of the AI industry, particularly OpenAI, wanting more oversight and regulation around development.
-
OpenAI invested in a robotics company that launched a humanoid robot before Musk's Tesla. Musk has called out OpenAI for going from nonprofit and open source to for-profit and closed source.

Musk agrees regulation is needed but thinks regulators first need deep understanding, then propose rules agreed upon by stakeholders before implementing.
