Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 22, 2018 In 2015, Elon Musk co-founded nonprofit AI research company OpenAI. Now, he is leaving OpenAI's board of directors due to a potential future conflict of interest. Musk’s departure from the OpenAI board is intriguing, not so much for what it might mean for OpenAI’s future, but for Tesla’s. The given reason of “a potential future conflict for Elon” could signal that Tesla is more deeply committed to their own AI projects than we thought.

Adam Varga + 123 AV February 22, 2018 His views on AI are probably different from those represented in Open AI. They had ambiguities in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP February 23, 2018 He's stepping down just because he wants to work on AI in Tesla. After all, Musk currently has a contract with Tesla that encourages him to involve more. He's only doing what is appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV February 23, 2018 He's just trying to avoid issues here. If Tesla uses AI tech from OpenAI to make money, that's unethical. But by leaving OpenAI Musk is avoiding a conflict of interest here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP February 23, 2018 What conflict of interest? We are talking about OpenAI. Open. That means anything made can be used by anyone. Maybe Musk is just moving to the opposite direction than OpenAI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
