Elon Musk's Grokipedia is becoming 'Encyclopedia Galactica'
Elon Musk has announced plans to rebrand Grokipedia—the AI-powered encyclopedia from xAI—as "Encyclopedia Galactica" in the future.
The goal? To build a massive, open-source hub for text, audio, images, and video—think Wikipedia but powered by AI and aiming to preserve knowledge from Earth to the Moon and Mars.
What's the difference from Wikipedia?
Instead of letting anyone edit like Wikipedia does, Grokipedia uses Grok's large language model to generate and fact-check its articles.
You can't directly edit entries; it's all centralized and AI-driven.
Concerns about bias and transparency
Some worry about bias—especially on hot topics—and that many articles feel a lot like what you'd already find on Wikipedia.
While the promise is speed and scale thanks to AI, trust and transparency are still big hurdles.
For now, it's an ambitious experiment that could shake up how we get information online.
