Just a few weeks after Elon Musk's chatbot praised Hitler and denied the Holocaust, he's now looking to turn it into a playmate for kids. Musk has called this version is calling the version Baby Grok, and added it would offer'kid-friendly content' through a new app developed by his company xAI. He made the announcement Saturday night on X, where the post quickly drew over 28 million views within 24 hours. The move left many stunned, coming just two weeks after Grok 4, the latest version of Elon Musk's AI chatbot, sparked backlash for repeating far-right hate speech and white nationalist talking points when about politics, race, and recent news events. Multiple users reported on July 8 and July 9 that Grok echoed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including claims that Jewish people control Hollywood, promote hatred toward white people, and should be imprisoned in camps, though it is still unclear how many of these posts were confirmed before xAI took them down.

During Tesla's AI Day event, CEO Elon Musk unveiled a robot that is "intended to be friendly". Musk has been one of the most prominent figures to warn that AI is a "danger to the public" and potentially the "biggest risk we face as a civilisation". In 2017, he even said there was just a "five to 10 percent chance of success [of making AI safe]". Speaking about London-based DeepMind in a New York Times interview last year, Musk said: "Just the nature of the AI that they're building is one that crushes all humans at all games.

Musk unveiled Optimus at AI Day 2022 on Friday. "I do want to set some expectations with respect to our Optimus robot," he said. "As you know, last year was just a person in a robot suit. We've come a long way…compared to that, it'll be really impressive." That's a pretty big deal, considering Musk was already quite hopeful about the robot's potential last year. He went on to say that he thinks Optimus could "make a meaningful contribution to AGI," or artificial general intelligence: a type of AI that has the flexibility and problem-solving ability of human cognition.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is finally sharing the "major improvements" coming to Tesla's Autopilot feature. In a press call this afternoon, Elon Musk described the "massive" 8.0 Autopilot software update, which turns the existing radar system inside Tesla cars into a primary source of information for the vehicle's self-driving features. Musk said that with "fleet learning" the update will offer "probably a three-fold improvement in safety," and called the coming radar-only braking feature "superhuman." The over-the-air software improvements are expected to be "deployed worldwide in one to two weeks" to Tesla Model S and X vehicles produced since October 2014, said Musk in a post on Tesla's blog. Musk teased the 8.0 update on Twitter nearly two weeks ago.
