A report by The Information on Monday quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Elon Musk has approached AI researchers in recent weeks about setting up a new research lab to develop an alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report stated that Musk, the head of Tesla and Twitter, is communicating with Igor Babushkin, a researcher who recently left Alphabet’s DeepMind artificial intelligence unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report comes after ChatGBT, a text chatbot developed by OpenAI that can craft prose, poetry or even scripts if asked, gained widespread attention in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman in 2015 as a non-profit startup, left its board in 2018, but has expressed interest in his stake in the chatbot, describing it as “frighteningly good”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report quoted Babushkin as saying in an interview that he and Musk are discussing forming a team to pursue artificial intelligence research, but the project is still in its early stages, with no concrete plan to develop specific products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babushkin added that he did not formally sign off on Musk’s initiative, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musk and Babushkin could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
