Inflection AI, Startup Led By Ex-DeepMind Leaders, Launches Pi — A Chattier Chatbot by alexrkonrad
Suleyman and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn cofounder and a former long-time board director of the non-profit that controls OpenAI, had teamed up with another former DeepMind leader, Karén Simonyan, to raise $225 million for a new Palo Alto-based company, Inflection AI. Structured as a public benefit corporation, Inflection employs about 30 people today, with Hoffman spending about one day per week with the company, according to Suleyman.
Asked how to tell a boss that an employee planned to quit , Pi responded with expressions of support and asked why its prompter wanted to do so, and whether they were sure. Pressed on how much notice to give a boss and whether it would be prudent to share candid feedback about internal problems with them , Pi responded vaguely. Be honest and forthright, the bot said; consider sharing valid reasons for quitting, in a respectful way.
“I think that’s just what an AI is. It’s this new class of thing that is coach, confidant and advisor, a digital personal assistant, all in one.”wasn’t able to fully stress-test Pi for this story; Suleyman said the chatbot has gone through thorough testing of antagonistic and harmful prompts, and has been trained to avoid direct influence on a user’s life or choices. “The higher the stakes, the more cautious it is,” he said. “We don’t want to intervene in somebody’s life.
“It’s lightweight advice that enables you to weigh up the pros and cons of a tricky decision you’re facing in your life,” said Suleyman. The CEO recently used Pi to talk through why a fix to his espresso machine wasn’t working, he said; after countless YouTube videos didn’t do the trick, 30 minutes running through the options with Pi got it done.
