Skild AI has emerged from stealth with backing from Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Softbank, Sequoia, and others to develop artificial general intelligence brains for robots.
Artificial intelligence firm Skild AI recently emerged from stealth to report the successful closing of a $300 million series A funding round featuring participation by Jeff Bezos and Softbank among others.
However, it’s important to note that AGI is a nebulous term with no scientific meaning. There is no consensus among scientists or engineers as to what, exactly, would spell the difference between a powerful AI system and an actual AGI system. Aside from breaking the AGI barrier, Skild AI appears to be trying to get in on the ground floor robot operating systems.
It’s also likely that other companies specializing in robotics, such as Boston Dynamics, who aren’t necessarily in the business of creating human-level AI systems to power them, could serve as synergistic business mates.
