_On Twitter yesterday evening, Elon Musk [announced](https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1224087317364854785) an upcoming AI party/hackathon to be held at his house, and that invites will be going out soon. Asked whether a person needs to have a Ph.D to attend, Musk replied no: "All that matters is a deep understanding of AI & ability to implement NNs in a way that is actually useful (latter point is what’s truly hard)._

Don’t care if you even graduated high school." The hackathon appears to be Musk’s latest attempt to accumulate AI talent. Last fall, Tesla [acquired AI startup DeepScale](https://electrek.co/2019/10/01/tesla-acquires-ai-startup-to-help-build-self-driving-robotaxis/) in order to bring its engineers into its team, while days ago Musk posted an [AI job ad](https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1224043531951583233) on his Twitter page.
