xAI’s mission, as stated on its website, is to understand reality itself. The team, led by Musk, consists of exceptional individuals who have previously contributed to pioneering AI organizations such as Google’s DeepMind, Microsoft Research, and OpenAI. Notable team members include Igor Babuschkin, Manuel Kroiss, Yuhuai (Tony) Wu, and Christian Szegedy, among others. The company is also advised by Dan Hendrycks, a researcher specializing in AI safety.

On July 14th, the xAI team will host a Twitter Spaces discussion, offering the opportunity for users to interact, ask questions, and gain insights directly from the team members. The company aims to foster transparency and engage with the AI community.

While xAI is a separate entity, the website clarifies that it will closely collaborate with Musk’s other ventures, including Tesla and X Corp (formerly known as SpaceX). Musk’s recent Twitter restrictions, prompted by AI startups scraping data for large language models, highlight the relevance and importance of ethical AI development.
