The goal of Elon Musk's new artificial intelligence business, xAI, he stated on Friday, will be to "understand the universe."
The billionaire presented his idea for xAI for the first time during a 90-minute Twitter Spaces audio chat, straying into discussions of the Earth's evolution and the precariousness of civilisation.
Musk made light of the fact that xAI's mission statement would be "what the hell is really going on" in an effort to advance cosmological understanding.
After charging businesses like OpenAI and Google with creating the technology without taking human safety into account, Musk announced the creation of xAI on Wednesday.
In contrast to Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI, he said that xAI will work to create a "good AGI." Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is an AI that has the ability to solve problems similarly to a human.
Musk said xAI would collaborate closely with his other firms, Twitter and Tesla (TSLA.O), during the Spaces session, which started late because Twitter wanted to "tweak the algorithm" to push the chat to more users.
The business will train its AI models using public tweets, and it may possibly collaborate with Tesla on AI software.
According to Musk, such a partnership would be to their "mutual benefit" and might hasten Tesla's development of self-driving technology.
