Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon four years ago and is now entering the artificial intelligence (AI) arena after founding Project Prometheus. This AI company was founded by him with Vik Bajaj who used to work at Google X. Bezos and Bajaj also hold the position of CEO of Project Prometheus.
According to a report by The New York Times, Project Prometheus is a company that focuses on using AI to improve the manufacturing, computing, aerospace and automotive industries. There are rumors that Project Prometheus is also interested in building data centers in space like Google and NVIDIA.
Although newly established, Project Prometheus has already received investments totaling $6.2 billion with funds also channeled by Bezos himself. There have been many pioneering companies in the AI arena in recent times, each trying to offer something new. At the same time, it has caused various speculations that have raised concerns about the AI bubble.
