Elon musk vows to make xAI chatbot Grok politically neutral

Dec 09, 2023 - businessinsider.com
Elon Musk is taking steps to make his AI chatbot, Grok, more politically neutral after it was found to express similar political views to ChatGPT, another chatbot. The political alignment of the chatbots was determined using the Political Compass Test, which plots political beliefs along two axes: economic policy and social policy. Both chatbots appeared to have left-leaning and libertarian views. Musk criticized the test but said his company, xAI, would work to make Grok more politically neutral.

Musk's company, xAI, launched Grok to premium users and is still in beta phase. The company's mission is to "advance our collective understanding of the universe," and Musk hopes to raise up to $1 billion for the startup. xAI's website states that it is important to design AI tools that are useful to people of all backgrounds and political views. Musk has previously criticized ChatGPT for being too "woke," stating that training AI to be "woke" is dangerous.
