Elon Musk to Develop 'TruthGPT' Against AI Bias

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, recently expressed his concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence to humanity. He has also claimed that a prominent chatbot has a liberal bias, which he plans to counter with his own AI system. During a segment aired on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Musk stated that he intends to create an alternative to the popular AI chatbot known as ChatGPT. His creation, which he calls "TruthGPT," will strive to become a "maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe."

Musk believes that an AI that has a strong desire to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it. The entrepreneur also expressed his apprehension about ChatGPT, stating that it is being trained to be politically correct. In the first of a two-part interview with Carlson, Musk called for the regulation of artificial intelligence, stating that he is a big fan. The billionaire referred to AI as being "more dangerous" than cars or rockets and expressed his concern about the technology's potential to destroy humanity.

Musk has demonstrated a great interest in AI for years and has been critical of other tech leaders such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates for their limited understanding of the field. Although Musk was an early investor in OpenAI, a startup behind ChatGPT, he only lasted a few years on the board before resigning in early 2018 due to some differences of opinion with OpenAI's leaders. However, he continued to express his admiration for ChatGPT's technology, calling it "scary good."

Despite this, Musk was worried about ChatGPT's filters, as the machine learning model was equipped with algorithms to prevent it from generating toxic or offensive responses. Hence, he plans to create "TruthGPT," which he hopes will have less bias and provide more accurate responses to users.

Musk has always been a big advocate of AI, and his plans to create "TruthGPT" show how concerned he is about AI bias. With the development of "TruthGPT," we can expect to see more progress in the field of artificial intelligence, which can benefit humanity in various ways.
