Overview

• On Sept. 30, Elon Musk said xAI is developing Grokipedia as an AI-driven encyclopedia positioned as a direct rival to Wikipedia.
• The platform would rely on the Grok chatbot to identify errors or gaps in online content, add context, and rewrite entries for accuracy.
• xAI describes a hybrid curation model that combines algorithmic editing with user submissions to build and refine articles.
• Musk presents the project as a more neutral reference after criticizing Wikipedia's community as left-leaning and labeling it "Wokepedia."
• Researchers caution that AI-led curation can reproduce biases, pointing to Grok’s past controversial outputs, and xAI has not provided a release date or governance specifics.
