Jan 10 2025, 07:43 AM EST Share on Facebook Musk Suggested This Idea to Supplement AI Training Data That being said, Musk has an idea that will supplement this human-made AI training data shortage, and it is by using synthetic data, according to the billionaire, it is where AI creates the training data for itself. According to Musk, this process would prompt AI models to undergo a process of 'self-learning,' and it is also used by larger names in the AI industry like Google, OpenAI, Meta, and more. AI Training Data and Elon Musk's xAI Grok Elon Musk created xAI for the sole purpose of developing artificial intelligence for multiple uses, including the creation of their AI-powered chatbot known as Grok, the sassy and all-powerful machine learning technology. However, Musk and xAI previously faced criticism when users discovered that Grok picked up ChatGPT-like output, with the public believing that it used OpenAI's code. One of the biggest claims of xAI with its development of its language models is that it is open-sourced, with Grok's code also widely available to third parties, revolutionizing the process like other companies. Musk's rivals in the AI space like Meta with its Llama model, Stable Diffusion, Mistral AI, OpenAI's GPT-2, and more are also known for opting for open-source development. While Elon Musk has been focused on going after OpenAI lately, preventing the company from changing its business model into a for-profit one, the executive is still active in his company's development of their AI experiences. There is no denying that Musk's experiences in the tech world made him knowledgeable about certain aspects, and his latest claim saying that AI is running out of human-made data for training is also backed by other experts' claims.
