Former DeepMind Star David Silver Raises $1.1B for AI That Learns Without Human Data

Ineffable Intelligence, a British AI lab founded just months ago by former DeepMind researcher David Silver, has secured $1.1 billion in funding at a $5.1 billion valuation. The company aims to build a "superlearner" that can discover knowledge and skills without relying on human data, pushing beyond current large language models. Backed by Sequoia and Nvidia, Ineffable plans to develop AI that learns from scratch, potentially revolutionizing fields like robotics and scientific discovery.
