Amazon.com Inc. founder and former Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos honed his leadership philosophy running one of the world’s largest companies. Now he’s bringing his management skills to an artificial-intelligence startup with fewer than 100 employees.
Project Prometheus, which Bezos co-founded with scientist Vik Bajaj, will use AI to accelerate engineering and manufacturing in fields like aerospace and automobiles, the New York Times reported. The startup has $6.2 billion in funding, sourced in part from Bezos himself, and employees counted in the dozens, some of whom were poached from leading AI labs like OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
