What You Need to Know About Grok AI and Your Privacy

In 2015, Elon Musk and Sam Altman cofounded OpenAI based on a seemingly ethical ethos: to develop AI technology that benefits humanity, rather than systems controlled by big money corporations. Fast forward a decade that included a spectacular falling out between Musk and Altman, things look very different. Amid legal battles with his friend and former business partner, Musk's latest company, xAI, has launched its own powerful competitor, Grok AI. Described as "an AI search assistant with a twist of humor and a dash of rebellion," Grok is designed to have fewer guardrails than its major competitors. Unsurprisingly, Grok is prone to hallucinations and bias, with the AI assistant blamed for spreading misinformation about the 2024 election.
