Flourish, a new neuro AI company co-founded by former Amazon executive Rob Williams and neuroscientist Thomas Reardon, is aiming to revolutionize artificial intelligence by mimicking the human brain's efficiency. Backed by a significant $50 million investment from Jeff Bezos and a total of $500 million in funding, Flourish is developing "Cortex AI," a synthetic intelligence system designed to operate on less than 50 watts of power, a stark contrast to the gigawatts consumed by current large language models. The company's ambitious goal is to create an AI that learns continuously and adapts like the human mind, moving away from the data-intensive and energy-hungry training methods of existing AI. Their approach involves neuroscientists conducting wet lab experiments alongside AI researchers to uncover the brain's "core algorithm."
