Musk against OpenAI

Musk founded a rival company to OpenAI several weeks before joining experts who signed an open letter calling for a general pause in the development of AI technology.

Signatories argued that the pause should serve to strengthen regulation and ensure the safety of AI systems.

Big technology companies as Google, Goal and Microsoft have been working for years on AI systems, formerly known as machine learning or big data, to help with translations, search and targeted advertising.

At the end of last year, the OpenAI sparked interest in artificial intelligence with the launch of ChatGPT, capable of generating text from a short question.

Musk co-founded OpenAI, but left the company in 2018.
