Elon Musk on AI and xAI's Future
TapTechNews May 24th news, on Thursday local time, Elon Musk made a connection at the European Technology Innovation Exhibition held in Paris. When asked if he would worry about being deprived of work by AI, he said, 'Maybe none of us will work anymore.' 'People only need to work for interest, and the real question to be considered will be the meaning of life.'
Elon Musk believes that with the rapid development of AI technology, AI will be able to provide all the goods and services people want. In such a world, people will no longer need to be exhausted for a living, but choose their occupations out of interest and hobbies, and the real question people need to think about will be the meaning of life.
He further pointed out that this optimistic future is not out of reach, and the probability of its occurrence is as high as 80%. This view undoubtedly depicts a brand new future blueprint for us, making us full of expectations for AI technology.
Regarding his own artificial intelligence startup company xAI. Elon Musk said that xAI is a new company, so Grok still has a lot of work to do to have an artificial intelligence that can compete with Google Deepmind and OpenAI, maybe it can be achieved by the end of this year.
When Elon Musk talked about the future development of Grok, he emphasized the importance of the ability to 'pursue truth'. He said that Grok will do its best to be rigorous and pursue the truth, and pursuing the greatest degree of truth is also the'safest approach' for AI. Elon Musk said that on the other hand, Grok must have extremely strong curiosity. 'Pursuing truth and curiosity' will be most beneficial to humans because it wants to understand and promote human development. 'If we are going to die eventually, we'd better die laughing.'
According to TapTechNews' previous reports, xAI successively launched the Grok-1.5 large language model and the first multimodal model Grok-1.5Vision in March and April this year. xAI once said that Grok-1.5V 'can be comparable to the existing cutting-edge multimodal models' in multiple fields such as multidisciplinary reasoning, document understanding, scientific charts, table processing, screenshots and photos.
