xAI says the company's goal is to understand the true nature of the universe, and although it is a separate entity, it will have close partnerships with "Company X" (Twitter), Tesla and others.

xAI is scheduled to host an event online on Friday, where Musk-led teams will answer questions online. The official website writes that team members have worked at cutting-edge companies such as DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla or academic institutions such as the University of Toronto.
Greg Yang, one of the co-founders of xAI, said that the company will delve into the "mathematics of deep learning" in artificial intelligence (AI) and explore AI's "theory of everything", which in turn will push the entire AI technology to new heights.
In addition, xAI is advisor to Dan Hendrycks, the current executive director of the San Francisco-based nonprofit Center for Artificial Intelligence Security (CAIS).

According to interface news, Bloomberg reported on April 15 that Musk established an artificial intelligence (AI) company called X.AI in Nevada, USA, aiming to compete with Open AI, the development company of chatbot ChatGPT.
In April, the Financial Times quoted people familiar with the matter as saying Musk was in discussions with investors in Tesla and SpaceX about helping to fund an artificial intelligence startup. Also in April, Musk announced the launch of an artificial intelligence platform, TruthGPT, which he described as an artificial intelligence that tries to understand the nature of the universe and seek the truth.
Musk is known to be a frequent public critic of OpenAI, the company that owns ChatGPT. Musk also signed an open letter earlier this year calling for a 6-month moratorium on AI models that are more powerful than GPT-4, saying they "pose a potential risk to society and humanity." The letter said AI labs and independent experts should use a six-month moratorium to develop and implement a shared security protocol for advanced AI design and development that is rigorously audited and supervised by independent external experts.
In fact, Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI when it was founded in 2015. In 2018, Musk was kicked off the board by OpenAI, and media reports said that because Tesla delved into the AI technology of self-driving, there was a conflict of interest with OpenAI, and Musk's thoughts on safety disagreed with OpenAI.
The analysis believes that OpenAI led the AI boom, which undoubtedly deeply stung Musk, who left that year, so that he has nothing to do with the most lively things in the technology industry today. So Musk was determined to start his own artificial intelligence startup.
