Vicarious AI: Building Robots That Are Better Than Humans

By PAOLA BAPELLE  YEET MAGAZINE | Published October 19, 2023

In the realm of innovation and technology, there's a golden rule for making trillions of dollars: Create an Artificial Intelligence business.

DeepMind set the stage in 2013 by developing an AI to master Atari's arcade game, Breakout.

It used data and pattern recognition to evolve rapidly, becoming an expert after just 600 games, marking a significant achievement.

But the journey doesn't stop at mastering games. Vicarious, another pioneering AI company, embarked on a far more intricate mission.

Utilizing DeepMind's AI, they introduced it to a slightly altered version of the game, where the AI surprisingly struggled, performing at a novice's level.

The co-founder of Vicarious emphasized the distinction between AI and humans, stating,

"We humans not only comprehend shapes and movements but have the ability to create models based on our observations."

Vicarious is dedicated to crafting General Artificial Intelligence that mirrors human thought processes, blending AI and neuroscience knowledge.

With an investor lineup that includes luminaries like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Samsung, and more, Vicarious is on a mission to combine AI with traditional robots to revolutionize various industries, from factories to catering and complex problem-solving. The possibilities seem boundless.

"We've secured substantial funding of over $250 million from prominent investors such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Samsung. Our cutting-edge technology has earned recognition in esteemed peer-reviewed journals like Science and Science Robotics, and has been showcased by top-tier publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, MIT, Wired, and many others."

Vicarious, shrouded in secrecy, is poised to shape multiple sectors and perhaps even surpass human capabilities.

Be it as a superior employee, baker, painter, or more, remember the name "Vicarious" as they script the future of AI and robotics, one that may outshine our own capabilities in due time.
