Jeff Bezos’ AI startup aims to create ‘great technology engineer’

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says his new AI startup will work to create a “great engineer,” according to reports from The New York Times and Price CNBC. The startup, called Prometheus, aims to develop AI technology tools to help create physical products.

The devices that Prometheus plans to develop could help create physical products in a number of industries, including robotics, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, NOW reports. “Blue Origin is a great example of a company that can benefit from the tools that Prometheus is building,” Bezos said NOW. “Any company that’s making advanced equipment — like rocket engines — could benefit greatly from this kind of technology.”
