Here's what Elon Musk's secretive AI company is working on

Elon Musk has not been shy about his concerns over artificial intelligence turning evil. So it wasn't a surprise in December when Musk announced the formation of OpenAI, an open-source, non-profit focused on advancing "digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole." That's all well and good, but not much has been revealed about what exactly OpenAI is working on. OpenAI's co-founder and CTO told Tech Insider that OpenAI is primarily focusing on advancing machine learning, which is the technology that enables computers to learn how to complete tasks through experience. Specifically, the company is focusing on two key types of machine learning that every major tech company is investing in right now.
