Elon Musk filed an application in Nevada last month to create a new one companyunder the name "X.AI Corp." which will deal with artificial intelligence.
As first reported from The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk created a new company dedicated to artificial intelligence called X.AI. The company, founded last month, currently has Musk as director and Jared Birchall as secretary.
Rumors of Musk starting an AI company have been circulating for days, with a report from Business Insider to reveal that Musk had bought thousands of units of exwork graphics (GPU) to power an upcoming artificial intelligence product.
The Financial Times reported similarly that Musk planned to create an artificial intelligence company to compete with OpenAI backed by Microsoft. Musk reportedly sought funding from SpaceX and Tesla investors to get the company off the ground.
During an interview at Twitter Spaces, when Musk was asked about all those GPUs he's been buying, the billionaire made no mention of his plans to start an AI company, stating that "everyone's buying GPUs these days."
The assumed name X.AI matches the brand name X Corp. which has also been assigned to Twitter. With the label “X” it has connected his vision of an "app that will have everything".
Musk was open opposed to OpenAI , the AI organization he co-founded in 2015 but left in 2018, and recently signed a letter calling for an end to "giant AI experiments."
Over the past few months, OpenAI has become a highly recognizable name in technology as the Chat GPT and GPT-4 and is partly responsible for starting Microsoft and Google's current push to more deeply integrate AI tools into many of its products.
