As per reports, Elon Musk has approached AI researcher, Igor Babuschkin about forming a new research lab to develop an alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Igor has recently left Alphabet’s DeepMind AI unit.
The step comes after ChatGPT gained widespread attention. Musk, who had co-founded OpenAI along with Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman in 2015 as a nonprofit startup, had left its board in 2018, but chimed in with his take on the chatbot, calling it “scary good”.
Musk and Babuschkin have discussed assembling a team to pursue AI research but the project is still in the early stages, with no concrete plan to develop specific products. Babuschkin added that has not officially signed onto the Musk initiative.
