Elon Musk officially launches his own artificial intelligence: xAI

The new company aims to compete directly with OpenAI, which Musk asked to further regulate its development.

Tech mogul Elon Musk officially announced Wednesday the launch of his artificial intelligence company, xAI. It is a project that was unveiled last March through several press exclusives.

In a brief tweet and a message on the project's website, Elon Musk announced his plan to compete with OpenAI, parent company of ChatGPT. Musk had been toying with the idea for some time and entering the world of artificial intelligence. Months before this announcement, he promoted the signing of a treaty to regulate artificial intelligences and prevent their development from accelerating in a way that is harmful to society.

On the xAI website, the company's founders invite the public to a Twitter Space Chat on Friday, July 14, to present the initiative further. For now, xAI revealed who is part of the team assembled by Musk. They include a number of engineers and managers who have worked with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft Research and Deepmind.

This image captures not only Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab, but one of the celestial specimens Rubin Observatory will observe when it comes online: the Milky Way. The bright halo of gas and stars on the left side of the image highlights the very center of the Milky Way galaxy. The dark path that cuts through this center is known as the Great Rift, because it gives the appearance that the Milky Way has been split in half, right through its center and along its radial arms. In fact, the Great Rift is caused by a shroud of dust, which blocks and scatters visible light. This dust makes the Great Rift a difficult space to observe. Fortunately,Rubin is being built to conduct the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). This survey will observe the entire visible southern sky every few nights over the course of a decade, capturing about 1000 images of the sky every night and giving us a new view of our evolving Universe. The LSST is set toprobe four areas of science, one of which is mapping the Milky Way to answer questions about its structure and formation. Once Rubin Observatory comes online in 2024, scientists will be able to access the data taken every night of operation. Rubin Observatory is a joint initiative of the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy (DOE). Once completed, Rubin will be operated jointly by NSF’s NOIRLab and DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
