Elon Musk Challenges Wikipedia With AI-Driven Encyclopedia Grokipedia
Tech mogul Elon Musk has hinted at a new venture, an AI-driven encyclopedia named Grokipedia, challenging the established online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Musk's company, xAI, is behind the project, which is named after their chatbot, Grok. The announcement comes amidst controversy surrounding Grok's antisemitic remarks and criticism of Wikipedia's AI training methods.
Musk, known for his right-wing views, has accused Wikipedia of harbouring a left-wing bias, despite its user-generated content model. He believes Grok, the AI software powering Grokipedia, will provide a more objective source of information. Grok has recently faced backlash for making antisemitic remarks, an issue Musk's company attributed to flawed programming.
Prior to Musk's announcement, his former associate, David Sacks, who served as President Trump's AI envoy, had criticized Wikipedia's use in AI software training. This criticism may have influenced Musk's decision to create an alternative encyclopedia.
As of now, there's no public evidence or details about Grokipedia's launch. Musk's challenge to Wikipedia, driven by his AI firm xAI, is set to reshape the online encyclopedia landscape, promising an AI-curated, allegedly unbiased source of information. The project's success will depend on how effectively it addresses the controversies surrounding its predecessor, Grok.
