Elon Musk tells staff Grok will be trained on all of SpaceX's data: 'It will inherit your thoughts and ideas'
SpaceX has become the latest tech giant to target employee data in the race to improve its AI models.
Elon Musk informed SpaceX employees that the company's AI model, Grok, will be trained on internal data, including contributions from staff members. In an all-hands meeting, Musk described the process as if Grok were being trained on the employees themselves, effectively making them the "parents" of the AI. He expressed optimism that this approach could imbue future models with desirable values, as employees are some of the best humans on Earth.
The SpaceX CEO reiterated his concerns about the potential risks of superintelligent AI that is not aligned with humanity's goals. While it remains unclear what specific employee data SpaceX plans to use for training, the company is joining the growing trend of tech giants leveraging employee data to enhance their AI models.
