In Latest A.I. War Escalation, Elon Musk Releases Chatbot Code

Battles are bubbling up to control the future of artificial intelligence, or AI, technology and being waged by prominent tech companies and wealthy entrepreneurs, especially Elon Musk (pictured). Much of the conflict revolves around debate over open sourcing, which reveals coding for all to use and view. Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor of computer science in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, contends open sourcing today’s AI technology is the safest approach, even though prominent companies such as xAI and Meta are not necessarily open-sourcing the technology. Some engineers argue that AI must be guarded against interlopers while others say the benefits of transparency outweigh the harm.
