Elon Musk plans to retrain his AI platform Grok to produce answers more aligned with his views, voicing concerns over the existing content's inaccuracies and political correctness. He proposes using the updated Grok 3.5 (potentially Grok 4) to revise the corpus of human knowledge, correcting errors and adding missing data. However, critics highlight that efforts like these risk exacerbating AI's susceptibility to biased or manipulated outputs, as seen in recent AI hallucinations from Grok and other platforms like Google and Meta, which attempted to address bias in problematic ways. Researchers and ethicists stress that modifying training data or post-training outputs can lead to undetectable ideological distortions, underscoring that AI development is influenced by corporate agendas rather than public interest. Separately, the U.S. Senate's reconciliation bill relabeled a proposed 10-year state AI regulation freeze as a "temporary pause" to comply with procedural rules, drawing criticism and bipartisan opposition. Critics argue it effectively restricts states from enacting AI laws, especially those related to automated decision systems, under threat of losing federal broadband funding. Additionally, Meta's AI efforts and leadership changes in companies like Databricks reflect the continuing expansion and regulatory complexity of AI development.
