Elon Musk: The Goal of xAI Is to Truly Understand the Universe

Elon Musk: I think xAI's goal is a good goal.

“The AI from xAI is called Grok. Grok just means to deeply understand something. To Grok something is to understand it at a very deep level, to really fundamentally understand something.

That's what we're aiming for with our AI. The stated goal of xAI is to understand the universe, to really understand the nature of the universe, and even what questions to ask about the universe.

I think it's a good goal.”
