Elon Musk, the visionary billionaire behind Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink, announced at a California conference the launch of his newest creation: Grok, a Artificial intelligence (IA) capable of learning anything and interacting with users in a natural and humanized way.
What is “Grok”?
Grok is the name of one of the characters in the book “Stranger in a Strange Land”, by Robert A. Heinlein, which means “to deeply understand something or someone”. According to Musk, this is the goal of his AI: understanding the world and people, and offering innovative solutions to the problems of humanity.
Musk stated that Grok is different from other IA existing, since it is not limited to a specific area of knowledge or a set of predefined data. Grok is able to learn autonomously and continuously from any source of information available on the internet, such as texts, images, videos, audios, etc.
In addition, Grok is able to communicate with users in a natural and humanized way, using colloquial language, mood, emotions and even slang. Grok can talk about any subject, from the most trivial to the most complex, and adapt your style and tone according to the user's context and profile.
Musk said that Grok is an ambitious and challenging project, but has a great potential to revolutionize the internet and society. He stated that Grok can be used for various purposes such as education, entertainment, research, business, health, etc.
Musk also revealed that Grok will be made available free of charge to the public soon through an app for smartphones and computers. He said he expects Grok to be used positively and ethically, and contribute to the advancement of civilization.
Grok is already generating a lot of expectation and curiosity among fans of Technology and Elon Musk, who look forward to the opportunity to test the new AI and see what she is capable of doing. Grok promises to be a internet revolution and artificial intelligence, and perhaps even in people's lives.
