Now, they were able to secure $225 million in funding, which was confirmed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. But, the confounders did not disclose the investors involved in the latest financial support. 

The majority of the funding is expected to be used for hiring AI professionals who already have lots of experience when it comes to programming.

According to CNBC's latest report, Inflection AI was first founded in 2021. It was specifically created to make human-to-machine communications less complicated and more efficient.

"If you think about the history of computing, we have always been trying to reduce the complexity of our ideas in order to communicate them to a machine," said Suleyman. 

He added that this could be seen in simple search queries, explaining that online users tend to shorten their words so that the search engine can easily find what they are looking for. 

Now, the new Inflection AI is expected to simplify the human-to-computer communication process, even through plain language. 

Suleyman claimed that this could be possible through a new suite of technologies that Inflection AI will soon offer. But, they haven't provided any detail regarding the final computer language techs, as well as their prices and targeted audiences.  

DeepMind Launches Gato

While Suleyman and Hoffman focus on their newly founded AI company, DeepMind recently launched a new artificial intelligence called Gato. 

TechCrunch explained that the new Gato is a system that can be taught to perform many different types of tasks, such as controlling robots and playing video games. 

Developers claimed that DeepMind's new AI system could learn around 600 tasks. You can visit this link to see more details about Gato. 

Previously, a new cardiac arrest-detecting AI development was confirmed. 

On the other hand, another Google AI researcher was fired by the search engine provider.
