DeepMind's David Silver just raised $1.1B to build an AI that learns without human data

Good news! This could be an interesting venture/enterprise by David Silver!

The urge to get away from expensive, insufficient human annotated data etc. has been going on for at least 15 years or so in ML & AI.

"Ineffable Intelligence, a British AI lab founded a mere few months ago by former DeepMind researcher David Silver, has raised $1.1 billion in funding at a valuation of $5.1 billion to join the race for novel AI models that could outperform large language models.

According to its newly launched site, Ineffable aims to create a “superlearner” capable of discovering knowledge and skills without relying on human data by leveraging reinforcement learning — a technique in which AI systems learn through trial and error rather than studying human-generated examples. This is Silver’s area of expertise. ..."
