1Businessman Elon Musk says ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence "bots" are too liberal and that he plans to create his own.
2Musk, the owner of Twitter and the Tesla electric vehicle company, spoke with Tucker Carlson on the American television channel Fox News on Monday night.
3He said his new AI "bot" will be called TruthGPT.
4He said it will be a "maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe."
5He said his creation will try to understand humanity so it is less likely to destroy it.
6Musk told Carlson that he is concerned the current AI creations are "being trained to be politically correct."
7He went on to say he wants to regulate, or set rules, for artificial intelligence.
8He said he sees the programs as being "more dangerous" than cars or rockets.
9He said the computer systems, which can have human-like discussions with users, have the ability to harm humans.
10The discussion shown Monday on Fox News was the first of two parts.
11Musk has some experience investing in artificial intelligence.
12He put money into Open AI, the company that created ChatGPT in 2015.
13But his involvement with the company ended in 2018.
14OpenAI said at the time that Musk left to end a conflict of interest as Tesla worked on automated driving systems.
15In his conversation on Monday, Musk said he came up with the name OpenAI.
16At the time, Musk said, OpenAI was not-for-profit but it is now for profit.
17He also complained about the company's close ties with Bill Gates' Microsoft.
18In the past, Musk has said that Gates and Meta leader Mark Zuckerberg do not have a good understanding of artificial intelligence.
19Musk used Twitter in 2019 to explain why he left OpenAI.
20In his posts, he said it was because Tesla wanted to hire some of the same people for its work on automated driving.
21He said it was better to leave OpenAI "on good terms."
22Since then, however, Musk has both praised and criticized artificial intelligence.
23Most recently, Musk has noted what he calls left-wing bias.
24ChatGPT and other bots take information from around the internet and use it to answer questions.
25The companies that create these programs say they use filters to prevent the bots from giving out offensive answers.
26A report from the Associated Press said Musk and a business partner turned in papers in March to create a company called X.AI Corp in the western state of Nevada.
