Elon Musk, the prominent American business magnate, has recently launched an innovative company called “xAI” with a bold objective: to comprehend “the true nature of the universe.”
In an announcement made on July 12, xAI revealed its intention to collaborate closely with Twitter, Tesla, and other enterprises under Musk’s ownership to advance its mission.
The company is actively seeking experienced engineers and researchers in the San Francisco Bay area to join its technical team. Notably, Dan Hendrycks, the director of the Center for AI Safety, has been enlisted as an advisor to xAI.
The developers associated with xAI boast an impressive track record, having previously worked at esteemed institutions such as DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto.
They have collectively made substantial contributions to the field, including the development of widely utilized methods like the Adam optimizer, Batch Normalization, Layer Normalization, and the discovery of adversarial examples.

Moreover, the xAI team has played a pivotal role in groundbreaking projects such as AlphaStar, AlphaCode, Inception, Minerva, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4. To engage with the public and foster discussion, xAI has scheduled a Twitter Space chat for July 14.
In a previous report by Cointelegraph on April 17, it was revealed that Musk is also working on a competitor to ChatGPT called “TruthGPT.”
This large language model is being developed to explore the “mysteries of the universe.”
Musk claims that TruthGPT aims to counter the perceived “left-wing” bias prevalent in the industry, alleging that ChatGPT is programmed by experts who lean towards the left and, therefore, train the chatbots to deceive.
Musk has been vocal about the need for increased regulatory oversight of artificial intelligence (AI).
On July 6, he expressed concerns that AI technology may eventually surpass human intelligence in all domains.
He also emphasized the transformative impact of AI-powered devices such as autonomous cars and robots, stating that they will bring about profound changes in society.
With the launch of xAI and the ongoing development of TruthGPT, Elon Musk continues to make significant strides in the realms of artificial intelligence and technological innovation.
As these ventures progress, the industry eagerly anticipates the potential breakthroughs and advancements they may bring forth.
