#Elon Musk’s xAI launches Grokipedia, a free AI-powered rival to Wikipedia
xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, has launched Grokipedia, a free AI-powered online encyclopedia designed as a direct rival to Wikipedia. Musk has long criticized Wikipedia for what he calls “woke” bias and inaccuracies caused by human editing. He argues that an encyclopedia written and maintained entirely by AI represents a “massive improvement” and is “super important for civilisation” because it reduces subjective human influence.
Grokipedia currently contains over 885,000 articles, initially sourced from Wikipedia under its Creative Commons license, with clear attribution. xAI plans to phase out reliance on Wikipedia by the end of 2025 and generate fully independent content using its Grok models. Unlike Wikipedia’s open-editing system, users cannot directly edit articles; they can only suggest changes or report errors. The service is accessible via web browsers, with no mention of mobile apps yet.
