Musk: xAI will help solve the universe's biggest mysteries like Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Aliens

Elon Musk has officially introduced his xAI team to the masses with a live Twitter Spaces event - after years of claiming the tech will be the demise of humanity. The Twitter boss laid out his plans to make an artificial general intelligence (AGI) that will be'maximally curious and truth-seeking' and'won't be politically correct.' 'People will be offended,' Musk said. 'Our AI can give answers that they might find controversial even though they might be true.' But beyond the AI culture wars, Musk expressed ambitious hopes to produce an AGI with deep analytical reasoning capable of solving higher order math and science problems, including many that have eluded mankind's best thinkers. The billionaire suggested that xAI could answer questions about the nature of dark matter and dark energy: theorized but difficult to confirm components of the known universe which astrophysicists estimate constitute 95 percent of the cosmos. Musk also said he hoped xAI could help resolve the'Fermi paradox' -- a theoretical question that asks why humans have not yet encountered extraterrestrial life in a universe that is over 13 billion years old and ripe with the conditions supporting life.
