The Evolution of AI: Insights from Elon Musk and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella

Elon Musk claims he is responsible for the existence of OpenAI, citing his past investment and recruitment of key scientists and engineers. He also alleges that Microsoft controls the AI company, a claim strongly denied by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Musk withdrew his support for OpenAI over disagreements about the speed of advancements and the company's approach to safe AI development. He signed a letter calling for a pause in advanced AI development, but still incorporated a rival AI firm. Musk also claimed that Google co-founder Larry Page was "cavalier" about AI safety and called him a "species-ist" for being pro-human consciousness instead of machine consciousness.
