[Alpha Biz= Kim Jisun] Elon Musk has announced that he will release an AI chatbot capable of surpassing OpenAI’s ChatGPT within two weeks.
According to Reuters on Thursday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the latest model of his AI company xAI's chatbot, "Grok 3," will be launched in about one to two weeks.
During a virtual interview at the World Government Summit held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Musk said, "Grok 3 is in its final development stage."
He added, "Grok 3 has very powerful reasoning capabilities. It surpasses everything we know. That is a good sign."
Musk also commented, "I believe human intelligence will eventually be overwhelmed by machine intelligence. I don’t know how we should feel about that, but it is inevitable."
He criticized OpenAI's shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit business model, saying, "That seems like a real overreach."
Musk was an initial investor in OpenAI when it was founded in 2015 but resigned from its board in 2018 and sold his entire stake. After OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2023, sparking a global AI boom, Musk began accusing the company of exploiting AI technology for unfair profit, which led to growing tensions.
In response, Musk founded xAI in July 2023 to rival profit-driven AI companies like OpenAI. Since then, xAI has introduced the chatbot models "Grok" and "Grok 2."
Meanwhile, a consortium led by Musk offered to acquire a controlling stake in OpenAI for $97.4 billion (approximately 141 trillion KRW) on February 10. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman immediately rejected the proposal.
