Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk has established an artificial intelligence (AI) company called X.AI, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source.

Musk is the sole director of the tech firm, while its secretary Jared Birchall is the entrepreneur's managing director.

Media outlets reported that Musk was putting together a team to launch a new AI startup that would be able to compete with OpenAI, the company that developed the ChatGPT chatbot.

He previously called for AI labs to stop the training of the most powerful AI systems for at least six months, citing “profound risks to society and humanity.”

In January, Musk announced three new features which are set to arrive on the platform. He pointed out that Twitter will soon bring in the Tinder swipe option, which will allow users to swipe right or left to move to browse recommended and followed tweets on the instant messaging platform.

Furthermore, the bookmark button will be used as a de facto silent like on tweets.

The CEO also highlighted that the much-anticipated feature long-form tweet will be rolled out in early February 2023. The feature will help Twitter users to post longer tweets without the current word limit of 280n characters.
