Elon Musk has launched his long-awaited artificial intelligence start-up xAI in a bid to build an alternative to ChatGPT.

The Twitter owner has brought in a team of engineers from other tech firms he is hoping to challenge in the artificial intelligence sphere.

 

Musk has warned for months about AI's potential for "civilisational destruction", arguing that a race among companies such as Google and Microsoft to develop the technology should be stopped to allow time for regulations on the tech to be drawn up.

The reason for the launch of xAI is "to understand the true nature of the universe", said Musk, who also co-founded OpenAI but later left the start-up credited with sparking the generative AI frenzy.

Dan Hendrycks, who serves as the director of the Center for AI Safety, a non-profit that aims to reduce the risks posed by the technology, will be an adviser to the new company.
