Musk hires some of the world’s leading AI engineers
Billionaire Elon Musk is entering the world of AI – again – as he officially reveals his latest tech business venture, xAI, which aims to “understand the true nature of the universe.”
Details on what exactly xAI will bring to the industry are unknown at this time. The official website is pretty vague, but we won’t have to wait long to learn more. The company is planning to hold a Twitter Spaces chat this Friday, July 14 where people can join and ask the team questions (hopefully, no one rage quits this time).
However, there are several clues on the official website indicating the future product or service could be related to generative AI in some way. Looking at the website’s description, the team is stacked with former engineers from major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, as well as Tesla. The work of these experts has led to “some of the largest breakthroughs” and learning techniques in AI. This research has even led to the development of notable LLMs (large language models) like GPT-4.Fighting misinformation

Well, it appears Elon Musk ultimately wants to make his own generative AI with a potentially large emphasis on safety.
