Musk launches 'scary smart' AI chatbot | National News | klax-tv.com
Elon Musk's AI company is releasing a new version of its chatbot, Grok. Musk's artificial intelligence company unveiled on Monday the latest version of its chatbot, Grok 3, which the billionaire hopes will find traction in a highly competitive sector contested by the likes of ChatGPT and China's DeepSeek.
Revolutionizing AI Technology
The launch of Grok 3 comes as the world's richest man is deploying the enormous powers granted to him by US President Donald Trump to restructure and dismantle federal agencies. With a focus on understanding the universe, Musk emphasized the importance of being a maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes controversial.
Musk has emphasized that Grok 3 is "scary smart," with 10 times the computational resources of its predecessor. The chatbot was trained on synthetic data and boasts self-correction mechanisms to avoid errors and misinformation.
Competing in the AI Industry
Grok 3 enters a competitive field with the introduction of other advanced AI products from various countries. Musk's creation will face competition from the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and China's DeepSeek.
Despite his past collaboration with OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman, Musk's relationship with the company has soured over the years. The rejection of Musk's offer to buy out OpenAI for close to $100 billion highlights the tension between the two parties.
Significance of Musk's AI Ventures
Musk has established himself as a key figure in the US administration, advising President Trump on technology-related matters. His xAI company has been seeking significant investments, with a potential $10 billion funding round on the horizon. Musk's ventures in AI technology hold considerable value, given his position in restructuring the US government bureaucracy.
As Musk continues to make strides in the AI industry, the release of Grok 3 marks a significant advancement in the development of intelligent chatbots.
