Elon Musk is among the power players in the AI space, thanks to his role as a co-founder of OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization.¹ OpenAI is known for developing cutting-edge AI technologies, including the GPT family of large language models, the DALL-E series of text-to-image models, and a text-to-video model named Sora.
Musk's involvement with OpenAI dates back to its founding in December 2015, along with other notable figures like Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, and Greg Brockman. However, Musk resigned from OpenAI's board of directors in 2018, citing a potential conflict of interest with his role as CEO of Tesla.
Despite his departure from OpenAI's board, Musk has continued to be involved in the AI space, and his influence extends beyond OpenAI. He has also been a vocal advocate for the responsible development and use of AI, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of AI's potential risks and benefits.
