Elon Musk plans Tesla and Twitter collaborations with xAI, his new startup

Jul 15, 2023 - cnbc.com
Elon Musk announced plans for his new artificial intelligence startup, xAI, to collaborate with Tesla on both hardware and software fronts. Musk revealed that xAI will use Twitter data to train its AI systems, but did not disclose any financial details regarding the use of Twitter's data. He also claimed that all AI organizations have used Twitter's data for training, often illegally. Musk hopes that xAI can emulate Alphabet-owned DeepMind's Alpha Zero, which achieved mastery in three games by playing against itself.

Musk also discussed Tesla's ongoing projects, including the development of custom silicon for data processing, the improvement of Tesla's hardware, and the creation of Dojo, a supercomputer for AI machine learning. He mentioned that the AI language model developed by xAI will not be "politically correct" and will provide answers that may be controversial. Musk also touched on Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, which is still in its early stages of development.

Key takeaways:
