Beijing time May 17 news, for the current popularity of ChatGPT, Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) that he contributed, he is the "reason for the existence of OpenAI."

In an interview on Tuesday, Musk mentioned his past investment in OpenAI. "I came up with this name." Musk told reporters. He also revealed that he played an important role in recruiting key scientists and engineers at OpenAI.

Musk was an early investor in OpenAI and is also seen as a co-founder of OpenAI. He reportedly promised $1 billion (currently about 6.98 billion yuan) to OpenAI, but later withdrew because of disagreements over the pace of OpenAI's development. He said he ended up investing about $50 million (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 349 million yuan).

He has repeatedly claimed that Microsoft controls OpenAI and that it is problematic for OpenAI to shift from a non-profit model to a "profit cap" model. Microsoft CEO Satyanadra (Satya Nadella) strongly denied Musk's claim.

Musk also believes that OpenAI does not pay enough attention to secure AI development. Musk was a signatory to a joint open letter in March that called for a moratorium on the development of advanced AI while security measures were in place.

Musk said in an interview that he knew the letter was unlikely to make any difference. But he added that he signed the letter warning AI of the danger because he wanted to "write it down". It means that he once issued a warning about it, but you didn't listen. Even so, Musk set up his own AI company, X.AI, in April.

In addition, Musk said in an interview that he was once a good friend of Google co-founder Larry Page, and the two would have a long conversation about the nature of AI. Musk said Page was "quite careless" about AI and "doesn't seem to care about the safety of AI." "the last straw that led to the breakdown of the relationship was that Larry called me a specist of pro-human consciousness rather than machine consciousness," he said.

A spokesman for OpenAI and Mr. Page had no comment.
