Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, has reportedly launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) company called X.AI Corp to compete with OpenAI.
According to multiple media reports on Saturday, Musk assembled a team of AI specialists, researchers, and engineers for the project, including scientists from Alphabet-owned DeepMind.
“Per business records, the Nevada-listed company was incorporated on March 9,” PC Magazine reported.
“Musk is reportedly listed in the documents as its sole director, while ex-Morgan Stanley banker and Musk’s money manager Jared Birchall is its secretary.
The tech billionaire reportedly plans to develop an all-encompassing app under the brand “X.” One of those plans is X.AI Corp.
This is followed by Musk’s recent statement that Twitter had merged into his new umbrella firm, X Corp.
Musk recently backed an open letter that called on AI labs like OpenAI to pause AI. He said earlier that ChatGPT is “effectively controlled by Microsoft.”
