US billionaire Elon Musk plans to launch an artificial intelligence startup that will rival OpenAI, the maker of the GPT program. Musk is in discussions with some investors in Space X and Tesla about pouring money into his new project.

His plan comes weeks after a group of AI researchers and executives, including Musk, called for a six-month halt to developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-6.Companies such as Microsoft and Google's owner Alphabet are pushing to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) into their products.
