After describing ChatGPT's left-wing bias as'concerning', Elon Musk is now working on a new AI chatbot of his own. The Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss has registered a company with the name of'X.AI', a subsidiary under his new conglomerate X Holdings Corp. According to the Financial Times, the new subsidiary will be the home of efforts to build a tool just like the hugely successful ChatGPT, owned by OpenAI. Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers and is in discussions with some investors in SpaceX and Tesla about putting money into his new venture. Due to Musk's belief in free speech, the new bot product could have less of a left-wing bias than ChatGPT, which has already been criticised for'woke' responses. Twitter, Telsa and SpaceX boss Elon Musk (pictured) has registered an artificial intelligence (AI) company with the name of'X.AI' Mr Musk has been critical of AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT in the past.

Elon Musk, who has been critical of artificial intelligence lately, appears to be planning to infiltrate the industry with his own company, the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times reported. It has been reported that Musk has founded a new AI company called X.AI Corp, based on a government file last month seen by sources, which confirmed that Musk was listed as the state-based company's "sole director" American from Nevada. Elon Musk is known to prefer the letter "X", and recently renamed "Twitter Corp", in "X Corp". And Musk is no stranger to AI projects. He co-founded OpenAI before leaving the company nearly a decade ago.

Elon Musk, who has recently voiced fierce opposition to artificial intelligence, appears to be developing something in this area. The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times report that Musk is the founder of the new artificial intelligence business X.AI Corp. The newly formed company has been established in Nevada and specifies Musk as its only director in addition to Jared Birchall, the head of his family's workplaces, as its secretary, according to a regulatory file from last month that sources claimed to have viewed. The multi-company leader is rumored to have a particular fondness for the word "X" and recently rebranded Twitter, Inc. as X Corp. With his present positions as CEO of Tesla and Twitter, Mr. Musk doesn't seem to be planning to slow down.

April 14 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk is working on launching an artificial intelligence start-up that will rival ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, the Financial Times reported on Friday citing people familiar with his plans. Twitter-owner Musk is assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers, according to the FT report, and is also in discussions with some investors in SpaceX and Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) about putting money into his new venture. Musk's plan for the firm comes weeks after a group of AI researchers and executives, including himself, called for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-4, citing potential risks to society. Companies from Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) to Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) are pushing to incorporate Generative AI, the technology behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, into their offerings. However, ChatGPT is facing pushback as regulators call for well-defined rules ahead of its mass adoption.

SEOUL – Months before the first summit between the leaders of the two Koreas in 2000, South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Inc. invested $730,000 in Pyongyang's top computer lab. North Korean programmers there would develop online chess games and food recipes for Samsung to sell outside the North. Samsung quit the business as inter-Korea relations later deteriorated, and the lab -- Korea Computer Center -- was blacklisted last year for its alleged contribution to the North's weapons program. As companies from South Korea to Russia and China again look to cash in on easing tensions with Pyongyang, Samsung's now defunct businesses in Pyongyang and hundreds of similar failed joint ventures underline North Korea's status as one of the world's highest-risk investment destinations. Yet days before the historic meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, a conference in Seoul to explore investment opportunities in North Korea drew about 600 attendees.

SoftBank Group Corp. CEO Masayoshi Son said Wednesday that the company will bolster its investment business in a shift in the telecommunications giant's growth strategy. "I have used 97 percent of my brain to consider the telecom businesses, but will shift that to investments," Son said at a meeting with more than 2,300 shareholders in Tokyo. Son, one of most influential investors in the technology industry, said his company will strengthen its focus on investments in startup ventures possessing artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies through its $100 billion Vision Fund, which was set up last year with partners such as Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. "We are the unicorn hunter," Son said, referring to unlisted startups valued at more than $1 billion. Among its recent investment projects, SoftBank has taken a stake in ride-hailing service provider Uber Technologies Inc. and has also bought U.S.-based robotics company Boston Dynamics.

The US Army Research Lab and the Knowledge Engineering Group of the US Army Ordnance Center and School (Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md.) have developed a visual expert system for diagnostics of the Ml tank's turbine engine. TED (Turbine Engine Diagnostics) is currently delivered on a color laptop PC one support level behind the front lines. Pictures of the engine and graphical representations of the diagnostic process prompt novice and experienced Army mechanics for input or action as they are guided by TED through the correct maintenance procedures. The UKbased Tyne and Wear Development Corp. is developing a virtual reality model of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne as part of that city's redevelopment project. A visualization of the East Quayside area, including landscaping, the road network, buildings, and the Tyne Bridge landmark, is being created as a virtual world.

NAGOYA – Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday it will increase the number of its executive vice presidents to six from the current four, and tap Koji Kobayashi, vice chairman of affiliate Denso Corp., to fill one of the slots on Jan. 1. In a move to speed up efforts to adapt to the growing market for electric vehicles and advances in autonomous driving, the automaker will make the change three months earlier than usual. Personnel shifts are usually are made at the start of the fiscal year in April. Toyota, Japan's largest automaker, has focused on hybrid and fuel cell cars but has lagged behind rivals such as Nissan Motor Co. in offering EV models. In an attempt to catch up, Toyota teamed up with Denso and Mazda Motor Corp. in September to develop base technology for EVs through a new company.

Yang Fan, managing director of SenseTime said the company is dedicated to spearheading research and development in deep learning in face recognition systems. As well as human face recognition, SenseTime is developing security technology focused on text and characters, body shapes and vehicles. "Human face recognition is the most mature part of this type of technology," said Yang. "We can provide complete image and video analysis, too, and content extraction technology. Using those, we are heavily involved in working with the security and surveillance, finance, education and robotics industries". The two-year-old Beijing startup already has a numerous highly trained scientists onboard, including graduates from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University in the United States, the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well those who have worked for international technology leaders such as Google, Microsoft, Baidu and Lenovo.

Microsoft Corp. says it has the answer with a chip design for its HoloLens goggles--an extra AI processor that analyzes what the user sees and hears right there on the device rather than wasting precious microseconds sending the data back to the cloud. "For an autonomous car, you can't afford the time to send it back to the cloud to make the decisions to avoid the crash, to avoid hitting a person. But the rapid development of artificial intelligence has left some traditional chip makers facing real competition for the first time in over a decade. More recently, in an effort to take on Google and Amazon.com Inc. in cloud services, the company used customizable chips known as field programmable gate arrays to unleash its AI prowess on real-world challenges.
