During a company meeting, Elon Musk told employees that SpaceX plans to train its artificial intelligence, Grok, on company data, including employee input. This type of data has become a valuable resource for tech companies that are training AI agents to use computers and perform real-world tasks.
“We’re going to train Grok on the entire SpaceX data set,” Musk told employees in a video from the company’s annual general meeting. “So in a sense, it’s going to be learning from you.”
Musk suggested that training artificial intelligence on data from SpaceX employees — whom he described as “a team of the best people on Earth” — could endow future models with the values he considers desirable, Business Insider writes .
“You will essentially become the parents of this AI. It will inherit your thoughts, ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s great,” said the SpaceX CEO.
It's unclear exactly what employee data SpaceX plans to use to train its AI models, and how. The company did not respond to a request for comment.
During the AGM, Musk urged all SpaceX employees to use the company's artificial intelligence and "make it better." The billionaire said that SpaceX's mission to dominate AI on Earth and in space would ultimately lead to skyrocketing profits and a golden age of civilization, and hinted at lunar vacations for employees.
"Anyone at SpaceX who wants to go to the Moon or Mars will be able to do so in the future. I give you my word," Musk said.
