Elon Musk's xAI Unveils Grokipedia, an AI-Curated Encyclopedia to Challenge Wikipedia
Tech mogul Elon Musk is venturing into the realm of online encyclopedias. His AI firm, xAI, is developing an alternative to Wikipedia, dubbed Grokipedia. Details about its release remain scarce.
Grokipedia takes its name from xAI's chatbot Grok, an AI designed to pursue truth and understanding. Musk's associate, David Sacks, who served as AI envoy under President Trump, has echoed Musk's concerns about Wikipedia's suitability for AI training.
Musk has been vocal about his criticisms of Wikipedia, arguing that it lacks objectivity and is biased towards left-wing views. He believes that an AI-curated encyclopedia like Grokipedia could address these issues and provide a more balanced source of information.
Grokipedia, under development at xAI, promises to challenge Wikipedia's dominance. While no release dates have been announced, Musk's involvement and the project's potential to reshape online information gathering have sparked significant interest.
