New Delhi: Elon Musk on Friday criticised Microsoft for making profits via OpenAI, a non-profit organisation created by him.
The AI chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI which is now a Microsoft company, has become a rage and the tech giant is infusing $10 billion into it to make it more useful for across industries.
Musk said that OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it βOpenβ AI), a non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google.
βBut now it has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all,β the Twitter CEO posted.
He responded to a follower who said: βElon Musk says that AI is βone of the biggest risksβ to civilisation and needs to be regulated. He co-founded OpenAI.β
ChatGPT is an advanced form of AI that is powered by the GPT-3 large language model. It is programmed to recognise human language and generate responses based on massive amounts of data.
According to Musk, βChatGPT has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become. AI has been advanced for a while. It just didnβt have a user interface that was accessible to most peopleβ.
Musk stepped down from OpenAIβs board of directors in 2018 and no longer owns a stake in the company.
βInitially, it was created as an open-source nonprofit. Now it is closed-source and for-profit. I donβt have an open stake in OpenAI, nor am I on the board, nor do I control it in any way,β he mentioned.
As part of his decision to create OpenAI, Musk stated that Google wasnβt paying enough attention to AI safety.
