Elon Musk Is Bringing the Culture Wars to AI

It was only a matter of time before the culture wars came to AI. Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, Elon Musk has railed on Twitter against what he has called "Woke AI." He has specifically criticized ChatGPT's developer, OpenAI, for the features designed to prevent the chatbot from parroting racism and sexism. Now, the billionaire is courting AI researchers with a proposal to start a new AI company to rival the developer of ChatGPT, the tech news site The Information reported on Wednesday. "The danger of training AI to be woke--in other words, lie--is deadly," Musk tweeted in December.
