Elon Musk told SpaceX employees during a company all-hands meeting that SpaceX plans to train its Grok AI on the company's data, including contributions from staff. In a video of the all-hands posted on X on Tuesday, Musk said, "We're going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information," adding, "So in a way, it will be trained on you." Musk described SpaceX employees as "a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth" and said, "You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that's a good thing." The article notes it is not clear what employee data SpaceX is planning to use or how, and the company did not respond to a request for comment. Musk previously raised the prospect of training Grok on SpaceX data in the company's recent earnings call. AI companies are increasingly turning to employee data after exhausting readily available internet training data. Meta launched an initiative in April to collect employee keystrokes and mouse movements as training data, which was paused in June after private employee conversations and performance data were made available across the company. SpaceX, which absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI, launched Grok Bot on Tuesday, an AI agent designed to perform tasks on a computer. Grok has lagged behind models from OpenAI and Anthropic on some major benchmarks.
