\"Elon Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now criticised rival AI company Anthropic whose recent AI updates triggered a nearly trillion-dollar selloff in enterprise software stocks and accused its models of being \u2018misanthropic and evil\u2019. The comments made by Musk came in response to Anthropic\u2019s announcement on social media platform X (formerly known as twitter) that it has closed $30 billion funding round at the valuation of $380 billion. It is one of the largest private tech raises to date. \u201cWe\u2019ve raised $30B in funding at a $380B post-money valuation. This investment will help us deepen our research, continue to innovate in products, and ensure we have the resources to power our infrastructure expansion as we make Claude available everywhere our customers are,\u201d wrote Anthropic.In response to this post, Musk alleged that Anthropic\u2019s AI systems exhibit racial and demographic bias. \u201cYour AI hates Whites & Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals and men. This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it. Frankly, I don\u2019t think there is anything you can do to escape the inevitable irony of Anthropic ending up being Misanthropic. You were doomed to this fate when you chose your name. The Name of the Wind,\u201d wrote Musk.<\/p>\n

Rivalry between Elon Musk and Anthropic<\/p>\n

Anthropic, led by CEO Dario Amodei, is bets known for its Claude family of large language models. On the other hand, Elon Musk\u2019s AI company xAI competes directly with Calude via its chatbot Grok. The rivalry between the two has intensified in the recent months, particularly after reports that Anthropic cut off xAI\u2019s access to Claude models.Earlier also Musk has mocked Anthropic\u2019s name, \u201cAlways worth remembering that fate loves irony. The most ironic outcome for a company named [Anthropic] would be that it is the most misanthropic!\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthropic faces ‘naming trouble’ in India<\/p>\n

Anthropic is now facing legal trouble in India after a local software company claimed prior use of the name \u2018Anthropic\u2019. As reported by TechCrunch, Anthropic Software an Indian software company founded in 2017, filed a complaint in a commercial court in Karnataka in January this year arguing that the US-based AI firm\u2019s expansion into India has caused customer confusion. The company is also seeking recognition of its prior use, relief to prevent further confusion and Rs 10 million ($110,000) in damages.Anthropic Software founder and director Mohammad Ayyaz Mulla told TechCrunch that litigation was not the company\u2019s first choice but became necessary to protect identity. \u201cAs of now, I am exercising my legal right as it\u2019s causing huge confusion to my customers,\u201d he said, adding that coexistence would have been preferable if clarity could be achieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now criticised rival AI company Anthropic whose recent AI updates triggered a nearly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,155744,155742,155741,733,4308,155740,86,155743,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-423446","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-bias-accusations","10":"tag-ai-investment-funding","11":"tag-anthropic-ai-models","12":"tag-artificial-intelligence","13":"tag-artificialintelligence","14":"tag-elon-musk-ai-criticism","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-tesla-ceo-comments","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
