Elon Musk announces child-friendly AI chatbot ‘Baby Grok’

(Web Desk): Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced the launch of a child-specific and friendly AI chatbot. According to international media reports, the chatbot, named "Baby Grok," was introduced by Musk via X (formerly Twitter).

Although Musk did not disclose further details about the project, the announcement has attracted significant attention.

On May 23 last year, Musk had warned that much of social media content is harmful to children, stating that social platforms and AI systems are in a race to maximize dopamine levels.

He urged parents to limit the amount of social media content their children are exposed to, stressing that children's minds are being shaped by AI focused solely on increasing dopamine.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter—a chemical in the brain responsible for sending and receiving signals. It is often referred to as the "happiness hormone" or "reward chemical" because it generates feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and reward.
