REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoJuly 14 (Reuters) - Elon Musk on Friday said the purpose of his new artificial intelligence company, xAI, will be to "understand the universe." During the Spaces session, which had a delayed start as Twitter needed to "tweak the algorithm" to promote the chat to more users, Musk said xAI would work closely with his other companies, Twitter and Tesla (TSLA.O). The company will use public tweets to train its AI models and may also work with Tesla on AI software. He also accused all AI companies of training their models using Twitter data in what he characterized as an illegal manner.
