Elon Musk and ChatGPT: Did Musk once Owned the famous AI Chatbot?
This Para Series briefs you things which existed before the official release of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022. The company that created the famous AI chatbot ChatGPt has a history with some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names. Here are things you need to know about OpenAI and ChatGPt.
ChatGPT is a chatbot, or can say chatterbot, a software application used to conduct an online chat conversation via text or text-to-speech, in lieu of providing direct contact with a live human agent, officially owned and produced by OpenAI. Within five days after release, the chatbot had over one million users. It was launched as a prototype and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge.
OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory consisting of the non-profit OpenAI Incorporated (OpenAI Inc.) and its for-profit subsidiary corporation OpenAI Limited Partnership (OpenAI LP). OpenAI conducts AI research with the declared intention of promoting and developing a friendly AI. OpenAI systems run on the fifth most powerful supercomputer in the world.
The organization was founded in San Francisco in 2015 by Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Peter Thiel and others, who collectively pledged US$1 billion. However, Musk resigned from the board in 2018 but remained a donor. He later said he quit the company since “he “didn’t agree with some of what [the] OpenAI team wanted to do.”
Later on, OpenAI announced a partnership with Microsoft at the end of 2019. Microsoft invested $1 billion in the AI company, and OpenAI said it would exclusively license its technology with the tech company.
Conclusion: And so before the launch of the famous AI chatbot, ChatGPT in November 2022, Musk had already resigned from the OpenAI’s board of directors back in 2018.
Musk has continued to take issue with OpenAI in recent years. More recently, Musk said he paused OpenAI’s access to Twitter’s database for training its software.
