Elon Musk lashes out at the ChatGPT sensation he helped create after Microsoft’s massive investment —‘Not what i intended’
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ Elon Musk, who once fought in court for the right to call himself cofounder of Tesla, just disowned one of his most famous creations.
The entrepreneur best known for running the carmaker alongside $Twitter (Delisted) (TWTR.US)$ and SpaceX in grueling 120-hour workweeks is notable for another feat that receives less attention: helping launch the company behind ChatGPT.
The revolutionary A.I. chatbot, first revealed on Nov. 30 by parent OpenAI, has sparked a fierce social debate over artificial intelligence thanks to the remarkable ability of ChatGPT’s neural network to mimic human thought.
Yet after Microsoft’s latest multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI last month, Musk is now distancing himself from the company.
The serial CEO said it no longer resembled anything like what he had once co-founded in December 2015. According to Musk, it was designed to be an open-source nonprofit, which was the very reason why it was dubbed OpenAI.
“Now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ ,” he posted to Twitter. “Not what I intended at all.” $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$

Risks from A.I. akin to harnessing the power of the atom
On Wednesday, Musk subsequently renewed his call for a regulatory agency to provide oversight of A.I. in the spirit of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration over vehicle safety or the Federal Aviation Administration over airplane safety.
“It is, I think, actually a bigger risk to society than cars or planes or medicine. And this may slow down A.I. a little bit, but I think that might also be a good thing,” he told the World Government Summit in Dubai.
Musk urged policymakers not to repeat the mistakes of the past by first waiting until a tragedy strikes before acting.
“What are the biggest risks to the future of civilization? A.I. is both a positive and a negative: It has great promise and great capability, but with that also comes great danger,” he said. “With the discovery of nuclear physics, you had nuclear power generation, but also nuclear bombs.”
