Business

Elon Musk, the CEO of electric car maker Tesla (TSLA.O), CEO of rocket launch company SpaceX and owner of Twitter, launched his long-teased artificial intelligence startup xAI.

The startup, on its website, said that xAI aims to understand the true nature of the universe, without providing further details. Its tasks and nature is expected to be revealed on Friday.

The company stated that it is a separate company from X Corp, which operates Twitter, but it will work closely with X, Tesla, and other companies.

The XAI team, led by Elon Musk, consists of renowned specialists in artificial intelligence, some of whom previously worked for OpenAI, the creators of the “GPT” or “Google” or “Microsoft.” Several months ago, the billionaire admitted that he had purchased a large quantity of graphics processing units (GPUs) necessary for developing artificial intelligence software, without specifying his intentions for them.
