Elon Musk Launches Grokipedia, an AI-Driven Wikipedia Rival
Elon Musk has unveiled Grokipedia, an open-source encyclopedia powered by his Grok AI, positioning it as a competitor to Wikipedia. The platform launched with over 885,000 articles and operates on a model where Grok AI retains full control over content moderation. Users can submit edit requests, but the AI alone determines their approval—a stark contrast to Wikipedia's community-driven editorial process.
Musk delayed the launch to purge what he termed 'propaganda,' though Wikipedia's entry on Grokipedia highlights concerns about potential far-right bias. The platform is free and accessible via Musk's social media platform X, branded as 'truth-focused.' Grok AI's centralized authority over content decisions marks a significant departure from traditional collaborative editing models.
