Musk’s Brewing Rivalry With OpenAI

OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, was founded in 2015 by Elon Musk and a handful of other AI entrepreneurs and researchers. However, Musk left OpenAI’s board in 2018 to concentrate on Tesla. In typical Musk fashion, he later criticized ChatGPT’s censorship of potentially objectionable responses and also called out OpenAI’s switch to “for profit” despite the fact that it was built as a “non-profit organization”.

Recently, a group of artificial intelligence researchers and industry top shots, including Musk himself, called for a six-month delay in the development of systems that are more powerful than OpenAI’s current GPT-4. The move was made citing possible risks and threats to society.
