“Elon Musk Introduces His Own AI Chatbot to Challenge ChatGPT, Asserting Prototype’s Superiority Over ChatGPT 3.5 in Multiple Benchmarks.
Named ‘Grok,’ this AI bot is the inaugural creation of Musk’s xAI company and is currently undergoing testing with a limited group of users in the United States. Grok is being developed using data from Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, which enables it to stay better informed about the latest developments compared to other bots relying on static datasets, as mentioned on the company’s website. Additionally, Grok is designed to respond with a touch of humor and a hint of rebellion, as stated in the official announcement.”
“Earlier this year, Musk joined a group of signatories in a petition urging a temporary halt to the progression of AI models, in favor of creating collaborative safety protocols.
“I added my signature to that letter fully aware of its limited impact,” shared the billionaire who owns X and serves as the CEO of Tesla Inc. in a recent Sunday post. “I merely wanted to formally express my support for a temporary pause.”
President Joe Biden of the United States has recently issued an executive order concerning AI oversight, with the aim of establishing standards for security and privacy safeguards. Simultaneously, technology leaders and academics engaged in discussions about the risks associated with this technology at the AI Safety Summit in the United Kingdom last week.”
“Grok has been created within a two-month development timeframe, as stated in the xAI announcement. Once it completes the testing phase, it will be accessible to all X Premium+ users. Elon Musk has articulated his aspiration to expand X beyond its initial role as a social platform and transform it into a versatile application, similar to Tencent Holding Ltd.’s WeChat in China. Grok will play a crucial role in this endeavor. Although xAI is an independent company, it has expressed its intention to collaborate closely with X, Tesla, and other enterprises.”
