Elon Musk says he is working on “TruthGPT “, a ChatGPT alternative that acts as a “maximum truth-seeking AI.” The Verge reports: The billionaire exposed his vision of an AI rival during an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson saying an alternative approach to creating AI was needed to prevent humanity’s destruction. “I’m going to start something I call TruthGPT or a maximum AI that searches for the truth and tries to understand the nature of the universe,” Musk said. “And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to kill humans because we’re an interesting part of the universe.”
Musk framed TruthGPT as a course correction for OpenAI, the artificial intelligence software nonprofit he helped found, which has since started operating as a for-profit subsidiary. Musk hinted that OpenAI’s profit incentives could potentially interfere with the ethics of the AI models he creates, and positioned “TruthGPT” as a more transparent option. In March, Musk and more than a thousand industry insiders signed a petition asking labs to stop training powerful AI systems for at least six months to allow for the development of shared security protocols. He also quietly set up a new artificial intelligence company. call X.AI.
