In recent times, through tweets and lawsuits, Musk has shown determination in confronting “Big Dogs” like Google, Microsoft, and Sam Altman, considering them unreliable and overly reactive.
Musk has previously warned about the “civilizational risk” of artificial intelligence (AI) falling into the wrong hands. He also does not deny AI’s potential if used correctly.
Musk’s recent lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI clearly indicates he is grappling with ethical issues related to the personal use of AI technology and the interests of large tech corporations.
Musk also does not hesitate to criticize Google and Microsoft for issues like their AI chatbot’s racially biased responses and the requirement for users to create new Microsoft accounts.
Altman and OpenAI are also facing financial and ethical pressures, transitioning from a nonprofit organization to a for-profit subsidiary to raise funds.
The debate over the development and use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important, and Musk is devoting his attention and effort to ensuring that this technology is used ethically and beneficially for humanity.
