Self-proclaimed AI savior Elon Musk will launch his own artificial intelligence TOMORROW – as he tries to avoid tech destroying humanity
Elon Musk will roll out the first model of his AI-powered system, xAI, on Saturday, a day after declaring the technology the biggest risk to humanity.
The billionaire said Friday he is opening early access to a select group, but details about who were not shared.
“In some important ways, it (xAI’s new model) is the best that exists today,” Tesla’s CEO said on Friday.
Musk, who has been critical of Big Tech’s AI efforts and censorship, said earlier this year that he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that seeks to understand the nature of the universe and that could rival Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Bing AI.

Musk unveiled his startup on July 12, 2023, by launching a dedicated X account for the AI company and spare parts website.
The official website only shows an ambitious vision for xAI – that it was developed ‘to understand the true nature of the universe’.
Many of the founders are adept with large language models.
The xAI team consists of Igor Babuschkin, a DeepMind researcher, Zihang Dai, a research scientist at Google Brain, and Toby Pohlen, also from DeepMind.
“Announcing the creation of @xAI to understand reality,” Musk posted on Twitter last year.
He then shared another post highlighting that xAI’s release date is a tribute to Douglas Adams’ ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’.
If you add the month, day and year together you get 42.
The number is the answer that a supercomputer gives to ‘the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything’.
Musk has been quick to criticize AI over the years, with his most notable attack on the technology in March, when he and more than a thousand other industry leaders called for a pause in the “dangerous race” to develop AI, which they fear it will constitute a ‘dangerous race’. a major risk to society and humanity” and could have “catastrophic” consequences
Musk wrote: ‘And what are the most fundamental unknown questions? Once you know what question to ask, the answer is often the easy part, as my hero, Douglas Adams, would say.”
Tesla’s CEO in March registered a company called x.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing.
The company names Musk as sole director and Jared Birchall, the director of Musk’s family office, as secretary.
And the company’s official Twitter account went live in May, but somehow managed to stay under the radar.

The event, organized by Rishi Sunak, will feature discussions with world leaders, technology companies and scientists about the risks of new technology.
Speaking to the Prime Minister, the tech billionaire likened AI to a “magical mind” that would bring a time when “no job is needed.”
Musk said people could still work “for personal satisfaction” if they wanted to, and that one of the future challenges would be finding “meaning in life.”
