Elon Musk says AI will gain general intelligence, outsmart humans by 2025

Elon Musk says AI will gain general intelligence, outsmart humans by 2025

by | Apr 9, 2024 | Technology



Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday predicted development of artificial intelligence that was smarter than the smartest human probably by next year, or by 2026.


In a wide-ranging interview on X spaces that suffered multiple technology glitches, Musk also told Norway wealth fund CEO Nicolai Tangen that AI was constrained by the availability of electricity and that the next version of Grok, the AI chatbot from his xAI startup, was expected to be trained by May.


“If you define AGI (artificial general intelligence) as smarter than the smartest human, I think it’s probably next year, within two years,” Musk said when asked about the timeline for development of AGI.


The billionaire, who also co-founded OpenAI, said a lack of advanced chips was hampering the training of Grok’s version 2 model.


Musk founded xAI last year as a challenger to OpenAI, which he has sued for abandoning its original mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity and not for profit. OpenAI denies the allegations.


Musk said training the Grok 2 model took about 20,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, adding that the Grok 3 model and beyond will require 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.


But he added that while a shortage of chips were a big constraint for the development of AI so far, electricity supply will be crucial in the next year or two.


Speaking about electric-vehicles, Musk reiterated Chinese carmakers are “the most competitive in the world” and pose “the most toughest competitive challenges” to Tesla.


He has previously warned that Chinese rivals will demolish global rivals without trade barriers.


Musk also addressed a union strike in Sweden against Tesla, saying “I think the storm has passed on that front.” Tangen said Norway’s $1.5 trillion sovereign wealth fund, one of Tesla’s largest shareholders, had met with the EV company’s chair last month and received an update on the situation.

Samsung to receive -7 billion in chip subsidy for Texas expansion

Samsung to receive $6-7 billion in chip subsidy for Texas expansion

by | Apr 8, 2024 | Technology



The Biden administration plans to announce it is awarding between $6 billion and $7 billion to South Korea’s Samsung next week to expand its chip output in Taylor, Texas, as it seeks to ramp up chipmaking in the U.S., two people familiar with the matter said.


The subsidy, which will be unveiled by Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo, will go towards construction of four facilities in Taylor, including one $17 billion chipmaking plant that Samsung announced in 2021, another factory, an advanced packaging facility and a research and development center, one of the sources said.

 


It will also include an investment in another undisclosed location, the source said, adding that Samsung will more than double its U.S. investment to over $44 billion as part of the deal.

 


The Commerce Department declined to comment. Samsung and Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 


One of the sources said it would be the third largest of the program, just behind Taiwan’s TSMC, which was awarded $6.6 billion on Monday and agreed to expand its investment by $25 billion to $65 billion and to add a third Arizona factory by 2030.

 


The announcement caps off a string of major Chips and Science grants in quick succession as the U.S. seeks to expand domestic chip production and lure away capital that might have been used to build plants in China and the region.

 


Congress in 2022 approved the Chips and Science Act to boost domestic semiconductor output with $52.7 billion in research and manufacturing subsidies. Lawmakers also approved $75 billion in government loan authority, but one of the sources said Samsung plans to take no loans.

 


The CHIPS Act’s goal is to reduce reliance on China and Taiwan, as the share of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the U.S. has fallen from 37% in 1990 to 12% in 2020, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association.

 


U.S. President Joe Biden will not attend the event, the two people said. He faces a tough fight to win a second term in November against former President and Republican rival Donald Trump. Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas was invited to attend, one of the people said.

 


While both TSMC and Intel, which was awarded $8.5 billion to expand its U.S. chip output last month, will expand production in the key Swing state of Arizona, Samsung’ expansion in reliably Republican Texas is seen as less likely to help Biden at the polls.
