xAI has hired (and is still hiring) industry experts that have previously worked at Microsoft, OpenAI, DeepMind, and Google Research. The small team at xAI has contributed to well-known AI products like OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, Deepmind’s AlphaCode deep-learning model that writes software at a competitive level, and Google’s Minerva language model that can solve scientific and mathematical queries with a step-by-step approach.
It’s rather interesting that Musk is hiring some of the most accomplished AI experts out there, and setting up an AI lab from his own pocket, when he is also the one warning about AI’s potential for civilizational damage. Musk signed a well-publicized open letter that asked for a six-month pause on the development of advanced AI models like GPT-4, citing tangible risks to humanity. Musk has also publicly criticized OpenAI on multiple occasions for reckless AI development.
Reckless is also how neuroscience experts describe Musk’s effort to put a brain interface chip on a human, despite his company Neuralink falling under the scanner for animal cruelty, pathogen contamination risks, and overzealous ambitions. It would be interesting to see how xAI does things differently when calls for regulation are echoing everywhere.
