TruthGPT, here's how Elon Musk challenges Google's Bard and Microsoft's ChatGpt

The owner of Tesla and Twitter, after signing the anti ChatGpt manifesto, invests in AI. But he reassures about the goodness of his, codenamed TruthGPT: «An AI that cares about the universe does not annihilate human beings, who are the interesting part»

As demonstrated by the story of Samsung (it was enough for the Korean manufacturer to let it be known that it was evaluating the hypothesis of installing Bing instead of Google on its devices to determine a stock market stampede that slimmed down Alphabet), whoever has the best AI will dominate the web. And not only. At the moment Microsoft, which has secured OpenAi, is in the lead, followed by Google which obviously does not want to lose its centrality. Tertium non datur? No, Elon Musk tries: as anticipated here on Start , the owner of Tesla as well as a former significant investor of the ChatGpt software house. While in public the South African tycoon adhered to the call to stop the advance of artificial intelligence, in great secrecy he founded his startup on artificial intelligence to develop… TruthGpt.

WHAT IS TRUTHGPT, THE AI WITH THE TRUTH IN THE POCKET

No, not TrumpGpt, even if the entrepreneur made the announcement, certainly not by chance, from FoxNews , the US broadcaster that has always been a megaphone for the Republicans. And Musk himself, often close to the requests of the tycoon who threw himself into politics (he showed solidarity when he was kicked out of social networks), said that compared to the AIs of his competitors, his TruthGpt "will not have left-wing prejudices".

It is certainly not to rebalance the scenario that Musk enters the world of artificial intelligence. With investments that, overall, will reach between 100 and 120 billion dollars by 2026, according to estimates by Bain & Company, the market that revolves around machine learning will grow by 16-18%. In particular, the two areas that will be most relevant in the next three years are those relating to Data Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, which will respectively account for 35% and 31% of total investments.

It will be, as explained by the CEO of Twitter, "an AI in maximum search for the truth, which seeks to understand the nature of the universe". The entrepreneur then added: "I think this may be the best path to security, in the sense that an AI that cares to understand the universe will hardly destroy human beings because we are an interesting part of the universe".

As we anticipated, the news of the new innovative startup of which Musk would be the sole director, named X.AI and based in Nevada, dates back to a few days ago. At the moment we don't know much about it. We therefore rely on the increasingly frequent interviews that Elon Musk is releasing on television. Before Fox News he had in fact spoken to a reporter from the BBC .

What is certain is that Musk is annoyed at having let ChatGpt slip by, selling the shares in his possession well before this year's explosion. In a recent exchange on Twitter, the owner of Tesla even accused the same company of Sam Altman , recalling that OpenAI was born as a non-profit, while today it is devoted to business thanks to the multi-billion dollar agreement with Microsoft. And his, instead, what will he do besides scrutinize the origins of the universe?
