Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says his new AI startup will work toward developing an “artificial general engineer,” according to reports from The New York Times and CNBC. The startup, called Prometheus, aims to develop AI-powered engineering tools to aid in the design of physical products.
The tools Prometheus intends to build could help develop physical products across several industries, including robotics, drug design, and manufacturing, the NYT reports. “Blue Origin is a perfect example of a company that could benefit from the tools that Prometheus is building,” Bezos tells the NYT. “Any company that is building sophisticated devices — like rocket engines — would benefit greatly from this kind of technology.”
