    At a meeting in April, xAI staff lawyer Lily Lim told employees that they would need to submit their biometric data to train the AI companion to be more human-like in its interactions with customers, according to a recording of the meeting review by the Journal.

    Employees that were assigned as AI tutors were instructed to sign release forms granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” to use, reproduce, and distribute their faces and voices, as part of a confidential program code-named “Project Skippy.” The data would be used to train Ani, as well as Grok’s other AI companions.

    Huh.

    I wonder if xAI has transexual employees, and if so, how socially-conservative users feel about conversing with a composite AI incorporating said data sources.

        You really think he personally conducts job interviews or that he could pass down the clear message not to employ transexual people? It has over 1200 employees, it is likely some of them are transexuals.
