The next contender in Silicon Valley's AI gold rush could be a surprising one. Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is reportedly aiming to launch an artificial intelligence start-up to compete with OpenAI and its revolutionary AI chatbot ChatGPT.
According to a Financial Times report(opens in new tab), Musk is in the process of bringing together a team of AI researchers and engineers to challenge OpenAI head-on. The report cites Nevada business records showing that Musk incorporated a company called X.AI on March 9, for which he's listed as the sole director.
The billionaire has reportedly already initiated talks with SpaceX and Tesla investors about the project.
“A bunch of people are investing in it… it’s real and they are excited about it,” a person with direct knowledge of the matter told the Financial Times.
To power his new AI venture, Musk has reportedly secured thousands of high-powered GPU processors from Nvidia and recruited engineers from AI labs, such as DeepMind. Nvidia is a leading manufacturer of graphics cards, like the upcoming GeForce RTX 40 series.

It sounds like you might be describing the movie “Impostor” from 2001, directed by Gary Fleder and based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. The movie stars Gary Sinise as Spencer Olham, an engineer and family man who is accused of being an alien spy and is hunted by government agents. As he tries to clear his name and prove his humanity, he discovers that he is actually a clone with implanted memories, created by the government to assassinate a key scientist. Along the way, he meets Maya (Madeleine Stowe), a woman who helps him uncover the truth about his identity and his mission. Does that sound like the movie you were thinking of?
When an AI machine is invented with God-like skills at lie detection, the government will issue an emergency ban and destroy it.

AI can do video and voices. Soon, you can make a sequel to Gone With The Wind starring whoever you want in an original screenplay.
Lots of opportunity for fraud, and the Swamp will seize it.
I believe Elon Musk is a FReeper! He may not be signed on, but he has noted what a great site Jim created and the conservative participants.
Elon Musk is the funnest Billionaire ever.
No, but good try. I kept adding information to my request of AI ChatGPT, over and over, and it came up with many recent movie titles but none remotely resembled what I was seeking. I gave up after a dozen attempts and gave reviews regarding the inaccuracy. It seems that ChatGPT doesn't know how to say "I give up, I don't know!".
As for the movie I'm seeking, it was probably over 40 years old or more. The amnesiac man is being hunted by the government that wants to destroy him (thinking he is a terrorist), and is befriended by a human man. Together, they not only find out that he is a robot, but gradually find clues to a secret lair where they find hundreds of dead clone robots and equipment. Only then does he discover that over thousands of years their task was to guide humanity and keep it from destroying itself. Also that each robot would build its successor to carry on the work over millennia. The robot then regains his memories and has many computer displays at his disposal to watch over humanity.
