The next step in the world of Grok is being taken by Elon Musk, who has announced that he is developing a competitor to Wikipedia through his artificial intelligence startup xAI, a platform called “Grokipedia.”

Musk , said the new service will be a “massive improvement” on the famous internet encyclopedia, whose articles are created and curated by volunteers.

The billionaire has long accused Wikipedia of political bias as it reflects mainly left-wing views.

Shortly before Musk’s announcement, an ally of his, David Zacks, who was recently appointed by President Donald Trump as his administration’s commissioner for artificial intelligence, had criticised the use of Wikipedia content to train AI software.

The name Grokipedia comes from xAI’s text-generating (chatbot) program, Grok, which Musk has said “seeks truth to the fullest extent”.
