Musk anticipates job loss to Artificial Intelligence, launches Grok to compete with google, others

Elon Musk, who officially launched Starlink operations in Zambia last month, says Artificial Intelligence (AI) will ensure “no job is needed” in the future, as he unveils his latest tech venture dubbed Grok.

At the world’s first AI Summit, Musk said AI could become the “most disruptive force in history and that as a result, the world might come to “a point where no job is needed.”

Musk stated that technology could become the “most disruptive force in history.”

The Starlink Chief Executive Officer added, “We will have something that is, for the first time, smarter than the smartest human.

“It is hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed. You can have a job if you want to have a job for personal satisfaction. But the AI would be able to do everything.”

On his launch of Grok, Musk said Grok had a sense of humour and is maximally and truly curious.

Grok has been announced ahead of OpenAI’s first developer conference, which is slated to take place in San Francisco on November 6, 2023.

Grok is expected to compete with existing LLMs, including ChatGPT and Google’s LaMDA. Interestingly, Grok has been developed by ex-engineers from OpenAI, Deepmind and Google.

Elon Musk, who has often criticized the AI efforts of Big Tech companies as being ridden with censorship, launched xAI in July, dubbing it a ‘maximum truth-seeking AI’.

Musk’s vision for xAI is to probe the nature of the universe and compete with tech giants like Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Bing AI.

One of the distinctive features of xAI’s Grok is its real-time access to information via the X platform, which Musk describes as a ‘massive advantage’ over other AI models.

This connectivity means that Grok can tap into an expansive pool of data, ensuring that users get the most up-to-date information available.
