Elon Musk ramps up AI efforts, even as he warns of dangers

In December, Elon Musk became angry about the development of artificial intelligence and put his foot down.

He had learned of a relationship between OpenAI, the startup behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT, and Twitter, which he had bought in October for $44 billion. OpenAI was licensing Twitter’s data — a feed of every tweet — for about $2 million a year to help build ChatGPT, two people with knowledge of the matter said. Musk believed the AI startup wasn’t paying Twitter enough, they said.

So Musk cut OpenAI off from Twitter’s data, they said.
