Elon Musk, CEO of X Corporation, SpaceX and Tesla Inc., reveals he Chatbot ‘Grok’ is being developed with data X microblogging site, and reportedly better informed on the latest developments than alternative bots with static datasets in the emerging global technologies ecosystem.
As the global digital ecosystem
experiences new technologies in diverse forms, Elon Musk, Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of X Corporation and SpaceX, unveiled his own Artificial Intelligence
(AI) bot to challenge ChatGPT.
It was reported that the
American billionaire businessman and techpreneur claims the prototype is
already superior to ChatGPT 3.5 across several benchmarks.
Christened Grok, it is said to
the first product of Musk’s xAI company and is now in testing with a limited
group of users in the United States (US).
Grok is being developed with
data from Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, and is thus better informed on the latest
developments than alternative bots with static datasets, the company’s Web site
said.
It is equally designed to
answer “with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak,” according to the
announcement.
Recall that Musk, earlier in
2023, was among the signatories of a petition calling for a pause in advancing
AI models in order to allow for the development of shared safety protocols.
Must stated Sunday, November 5,
2023: “I signed that letter knowing it was futile.
“I just wanted to be on the record
as recommending a pause.”
Earlier, US President Joe
Biden, in the company with Vice-President Kamala Harris, had signed an
Executive Order for AI oversight in the American country.
The prime objective of the
document is to set standards for security and privacy protections, while
technology leaders and academics debated the technology’s risks at the recent
AI Safety Summit, in London, United Kingdom (UK).
Grok currently in testing
stage, says Musk.
Describing the new AI ChatGPT
tool as the product of two months of development, the CEO of X Corporation in
the xAI announcement, said it would be made available to all X Premium+ users
after it exits the testing stage.
Meanwhile, Musk also has spoken
of his ambition to build X beyond its base as a social platform into a
do-everything app akin to Tencent Holding Limited’s WeChat in China.
According to him, Grok will be
an essential part of developing that — while xAI is a separate company, it says
it intends to work closely with X, Tesla and other businesses.
