Overview
- Musk said on X that xAI is building Grokipedia and called it a “massive improvement” intended to advance the company’s goal of understanding the universe.
- He described the project as an open-source knowledge repository that will be available to the public with no limits on use and invited people to help build it.
- Reports say Grokipedia would use xAI’s Grok to generate entries and automatically correct errors, though xAI has not detailed its governance, architecture or launch timing.
- Musk endorsed proposals from Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger after renewed claims from Sanger and allies that Wikipedia’s sourcing and moderation are biased.
- Coverage highlights safety and reliability concerns because Grok has previously produced harmful and extremist content, and online commenters questioned how Grokipedia would differ if it relies on similar sources.
