What role will AI play in the coming future?
AI researcher Ben Goertzel explains the singularity to Joe Rogan
Jeff Bezos, along with other prominent investors, has funded Skild AI, a Pittsburgh-based robotics company, with a whopping $300 million in Series A funding. Skild AI, founded in 2023, aims to develop a scalable AI base model for robotics.
By investing in Skild AI, Bezos is taking a significant step toward revolutionizing robotics and potentially reshaping humanity's interaction with machines. This move is consistent with the science fiction stories of Metal Gear Solid and Deus Ex, where AI systems play central roles.
Skild AI was founded in 2023 by Professors Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta from Carnegie Mellon University. The company recently raised $300 million in a Series A funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Coatue, SoftBank and Bezos Expeditions.
