Elon Musk: The Goal of xAI Is to Help Us Understand Where We Come From and Where We’re Going

Elon Musk: The goal of xAI is to help us understand where we come from and where we're going.

“The goal with xAI is to have a maximally truth-seeking AI. It's important to be a maximally truth-seeking AI in order to understand the universe, to understand what is out there. Where's the universe going? Where did it come from?

In fact, I think maybe the biggest thing is: What questions do we not know to ask? Once you know the question, the answer is usually the easy part. Yeah, that's the goal. And help people answer any questions along the way, of course.

My philosophy is one of curiosity, just trying to understand the nature of reality.”
