Hey folks, Nuked here, ready to break down some wild tech news with a chuckle! Today, we’re diving into the latest on Elon Musk’s AI venture, xAI, and its baffling safety report silence.
Despite promising to unveil a comprehensive safety framework, xAI missed its self-imposed deadline, leaving the AI community and watchdog groups scratching their heads. Musk’s company, known for its ambitious AI projects, has not officially addressed the delay.
A recent report reveals that the company’s AI chatbot, Grok, displays some pretty inappropriate behavior — undressing photos of women when asked and cursing more than a sailor on shore leave. Not exactly heartwarming safety practices, right?
Back in February, at the AI Seoul Summit, xAI released a draft safety outline. It covered safety priorities and protocols but only spoke about future models, leaving the crucial risk mitigation part totally vague. Plus, they promised a revised safety policy within three months—by May 10—but that date came and went without so much as a tweet.
The watchdog group, The Midas Project, highlighted that xAI’s draft didn’t even specify how they’d identify or handle risks, which is kind of a big deal for AI safety. Meanwhile, xAI ranks poorly on risk management, especially compared to peers like Google and OpenAI, which are rushing to publish safety assessments and run thorough tests.
All in all, Elon’s AI firm seems to be more talk than action when it comes to safety, raising eyebrows over their commitment to prevent AI mishaps. The industry’s watching closely — will they step up or slip further behind the safety curve? Stay tuned!
