On Wednesday, Renowned American entrepreneur Elon Musk announced the launch of a new company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI), with details expected to be revealed on Friday.
The startup, referred to as “xAI” on its website, aims to “understand the true nature of the universe,” without providing further details.
Elon Musk clarified on Twitter that xAI aspires to “understand reality.”
The company’s website announced a Q&A session on Friday via Twitter to discuss the company’s goals and provide more information about it.
Officially registered in Nevada in March, xAI states that its technical team is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.
Upon registration, Elon Musk was listed as its director.
Several months ago, the billionaire acknowledged purchasing a significant quantity of graphics processing units (GPUs) necessary for developing AI software without specifying his intentions for them.
XAI’s team, led by Musk, consists of renowned AI specialists, some of whom previously worked for OpenAI, the creators of programs such as “ChatGPT” used by Google and Microsoft.
In an interview with Fox network in April, Musk expressed his intention to create a third option among prominent companies in the field of artificial intelligence, which are Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google.
