Jeff Bezos’s Prometheus raises $12B to build an ‘artificial general engineer’ for the physical world

# Prometheus Raises $12 Billion to Build AI for Physical Tasks Jeff Bezos's company Prometheus just secured $12 billion in funding to create an AI system that can handle complex engineering work and drug design without human involvement. The company, now valued at $41 billion, is essentially trying to build AI smart enough to solve real-world problems that currently require highly trained engineers and scientists. This is significant because it suggests AI is moving beyond writing and analysis into doing actual hands-on technical work that could reshape industries like manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
