  Hi everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Elon Musk
• 0:05
  Podcast. Today we're diving into an
• 0:07
  exciting development in the field of artificial
• 0:10
  intelligence. Elon Musk has officially
• 0:13
  launched his long anticipated a I venture XAI, now the two
• 0:19
  behind XAI. Comprised of engineers from
• 0:22
  leading US tech giants, it aims to challenge established
• 0:25
  counterparts by constructing an alternative to Chat GB T.
• 0:29
  Now, Musk, CEO SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter has long expressed
• 0:34
  his concerns about the unregulated development of A I
• 0:37
  and its potential for civilizational destruction.
• 0:41
  Now he's aiming to create a maximally curious A I, which
• 0:45
  seeks to understand the universe, an approach that Musk
• 0:48
  believes would inherently favor humanity.
• 0:51
  Now, in other news, during a recent visit to China, Musk
• 0:55
  reported that the nation seems eager to work with an
• 0:58
  international framework. For a I regulation, marking
• 1:01
  another significant step in his advocacy for A I regulations and
• 1:05
  oversight, the launch of XAI heralds an era of more regulated
• 1:09
  and safer A I development, but also brings the promise of an A
• 1:13
  I that surpasses human intelligence.
• 1:15
  In the next half decade, according to Musk, we'll explore
• 1:19
  these aspects in detail, and we'll talk about the future of A
• 1:23
  I, But first, we're going to take a quick commercial break,
• 1:26
  so stay tuned. We'll be right back with more on
• 1:29
  this story. Welcome back everybody.
• 1:32
  Now Elon Musk, who's the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, the head of
• 1:37
  Twitter. Now he's building his portfolio
• 1:39
  even broader. Now his leadership at Tesla, the
• 1:43
  EV company and clean energy company.
• 1:45
  He made that into a global recognized brand, while SpaceX
• 1:48
  continues to make strides in the aerospace sector teaming with
• 1:52
  NASA for. Emissions to the moon, emissions
• 1:55
  to low Earth orbit, the International Space Station, and
• 1:58
  eventually sending humans to Mars.
• 2:01
  Recently, his acquisition of Twitter has added a new
• 2:04
  dimension to his technological influence.
• 2:07
  But despite his various pursuits, Musk has consistently
• 2:12
  been a vocal critic of unregulated A I development.
• 2:16
  He's frequently called for a moratorium on a i's advancement
• 2:19
  and emphasize the urgency of sector specific regulations.
• 2:24
  And Musk's reservations originated from his deep rooted
• 2:27
  fears regarding E i's capacity for civilizational destruction,
• 2:31
  a concept that underscores the potential perils of unchecked
• 2:34
  technology. Now, in a live Twitter Spaces
• 2:37
  event on Wednesday, Musk laid out his blueprint for a safer A
• 2:40
  I. Instead of hardcourting A moral
• 2:43
  compass into the A I, musk's ex, a I aims to nurture a maximally
• 2:48
  curious A I, Musk argued. If it the A I tried to
• 2:52
  understand the true nature of the universe, that's actually
• 2:55
  the best thing that I can come up with from an A I safety
• 2:58
  standpoint. He further expressed his belief
• 3:00
  that an A I with these characteristics would inherently
• 3:03
  favor humanity. The reasoning behind his
• 3:06
  viewpoint is that the complexity of human existence makes it far
• 3:10
  more interesting than its absence.
• 3:13
  Now, Musk also ventured a prediction that super
• 3:15
  intelligence or a I surpassing human intelligence could emerge
• 3:19
  in about 1/2 a decade. Musk is no stranger to the AI
• 3:22
  field. He cofounded a Open AI, and
• 3:26
  that's the organization behind Chen, GPT, and that was around
• 3:29
  2015 and then he resigned from the board in 2018.
• 3:34
  Worth noting is that Microsoft also a key player in AI and it
• 3:38
  invested heavily into open air with billions of dollars.
• 3:41
  Now, as announced on its website, X AI plans to host a
• 3:45
  Twitter Spaces event July 14th. Aiming to keep the community
• 3:49
  informed and engaged, the team includes people from Google,
• 3:53
  Google's DeepMind project, and also from Microsoft.
• 3:58
  And in March, Musk registered a firm named X dot Aicorp in
• 4:02
  Nevada, according to a state filing.
• 4:04
  The registration documentation list Musk as a sole director but
• 4:08
  Jared Burchell, the managing director of Musk's family
• 4:11
  office, as a secretary. Musk had previously mentioned in
• 4:14
  April that he planned to launch Truth GPT.
• 4:17
  And AI designed for ultimate truth seeking and competition
• 4:21
  with Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI, both of
• 4:24
  which aim to understand the universe's nature.
• 4:27
  Now open Ai's launch of the popular ChatGPT chatbot in
• 4:31
  November last year catapulted generative AI into the
• 4:34
  spotlight. This development preceded the
• 4:37
  launch of both Bard and Bing AI as part of the X AI initiative.
• 4:42
  Dan Hendricks will provide advisory support to the team.
• 4:46
  Currently, he is the director of the Center for A I Safety,
• 4:50
  working on, understanding and mitigating the risks associated
• 4:53
  with a I. Now, the newly founded company
• 4:56
  is distinct from Xcorp, but the XAI website indicates a close
• 5:00
  working relationship with Twitter, Tesla, and other Elon
• 5:03
  Musk companies. The startup is also actively
• 5:06
  recruiting seasoned engineers and researchers in the San
• 5:09
  Francisco Bay Area. Now, simultaneously, Musk has
• 5:13
  revealed his insights on the international A I scene.
• 5:16
  Speaking at a Twitter space event with US Congressman,
• 5:18
  Democrat Rokhana and Republican Mike Gallagher, Musk's chair,
• 5:22
  the China seemed enthusiastic about a collaborative
• 5:25
  international framework on a I regulation based on his recent
• 5:29
  conversations with them. And Musk has been an advocate
• 5:33
  for a I regulations and oversight for a while, which he
• 5:36
  also promoted during his meetings in China.
• 5:39
  And Musk's recent visit to China has been very instrumental in
• 5:43
  advancing his A I initiative. He met with Chinese officials,
• 5:46
  including the country's foreign Commerce and Industry ministers
• 5:50
  in Beijing and Chinese vice president as well.
• 5:53
  And after these interactions, Musk noted last month, the
• 5:56
  Chinese government might take steps to enforce A I regulations
• 5:59
  domestically now. This development follows an
• 6:02
  upsurge in investments and consumer interest in the booming
• 6:05
  A I market, especially after the introduction of Open A, I Chat
• 6:09
  GB T and how it blew up. Several governments are now
• 6:12
  evaluating ways to mitigate the potential hazards of this
• 6:16
  rapidly emerging technology. A I has been around for a long
• 6:19
  time, but just recently it's been getting into consumers
• 6:23
  hands, and that's what's scaring people.
• 6:25
  Now regulators worldwide have found themselves in a race
• 6:28
  against time. They've been drafting rules to
• 6:30
  govern the use of generative A I, which can produce texts and
• 6:34
  images, and it scrapes certain websites.
• 6:37
  And takes images and text from those websites and puts them
• 6:40
  into large language models. And this potential impact of
• 6:43
  this technology is likened to that of the Internet in the
• 6:46
  early days, making the need for effective regulation more urgent
• 6:50
  for those people than ever. Thank you so much for listening
