Elon Musk recently signed a letter calling for a six-month pause on development of all artificial intelligence technology, as was widely reported last month.
Musk has recently hired AI engineers from Alphabet’s research firm DeepMind, including Igor Babuschkin and Maual Kroiss, according to Insider. And apparently he’s looking for others to help Musk get his own AI software off the ground at Twitter.
Musk’s development of his own AI, known as a large language model, is still in “an early stage,” according to Insider. And that makes sense when you look at Musk’s history with the technology. The billionaire has had a few false starts with AI and is clearly trying to play catch up. Musk co-founded OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, in 2015 and reportedly butted heads with co-founder Sam Altman. Musk made a move to take over OpenAIbut the board didn’t like that and Musk left the company. Which likely explains why Musk is calling for a six month pause. The Twitter CEO has to realize he’s behind everyone else right now.
Musk has also reportedly purchased a number of expensive computers from Nvidia in his AI arms race with Google and OpenAI. Artificial intelligence requires increasingly costly GPUs to work and that can become a costly endeavor to do right.
