Companies signing the pledge included Sam Altman\u2019s OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Amazon, Mistral, Microsoft and Meta.<\/p>\n<p>Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left several years later over clashes over AI safety. He launched his own AI company, xAI, in July. The new company snapped up high-profile hires in the field, with a mission to \u201cunderstand the true nature of the universe\u201d and a focus on building machines with human-level intelligence, known as artificial general intelligence, or AGI. <\/p>\n<p>He also hopes to use the technology developed at the company to improve X, formerly Twitter, which he bought for $44bn last October, according to people familiar with the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked by Sunak what he thought of the initiative, Musk said jokingly that \u201cit will be annoying, that\u2019s true\u201d but said he supported the plan because \u201cwe\u2019ve learnt over the years that having a referee is a good thing\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Flanked by large portraits of aristocratic figures, Musk said he believed ensuring AI technologies had \u201csome kind of off switch\u201d was something we should be \u201cquite concerned about\u201d. \u201cWhat if one day they get a software update and they\u2019re not so friendly anymore,\u201d he ruminated.<\/p>\n<p>On balance, he said, he believed the technology would \u201cbe a force for good\u201d and AIs could actually become \u201cgreat friends\u201d to their users, especially to people such as his son who struggled to make friends in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>Several hours ahead of the summit, Musk <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1720109081904463926\" data-trackable=\"link\">posted a cartoon<\/a> on X that appeared to show the UK, US, Europe and China verbalising the risks of AI to humankind but secretly thinking about their desire to develop it first. \u201cSigh,\u201d Musk wrote alongside the meme.<\/p>\n<p>During the 40-minute conversation on Thursday evening, Musk congratulated Sunak for inviting China to the AI Safety Summit, saying that \u201cif they\u2019re not participants it\u2019s pointless\u201d because without the country\u2019s buy-in to safety commitments, \u201cthey would just jump into the lead and exceed us all\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he believed the summit \u201cwill go down in history as being very important\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the year, Musk was also one of the signatories of a letter calling for a pause on advanced AI development over safety concerns. However, critics have suggested that the move was an attempt to buy time as he races to catch up with OpenAI, which has risen to prominence in the sector since the launch of its ChatGPT chatbot nearly a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/3b3845b0-0102-47a0-ba58-03ef4d5b69da\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the Artificial intelligence myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
