Amazon forms an AI agent-focused lab led by Adept’s co-founder
Amazon says that it's establishing a new R&D lab in San Francisco, the Amazon AGI SF Lab, to focus on building AI agents.
The Amazon AGI SF Lab, which will be led by David Luan, the co-founder of AI startup Adept, will seek to build agents that can “take actions in the digital and physical worlds,” and “handle complex workflows” using computers, web browsers, and code interpreters. “Our initial focus is on several key research bets that will enable AI agents to perform real-world actions, learn from human feedback, self-course-correct, and infer our goals,” Luan and Abbeel added. OpenAI rival Anthropic earlier this year released its take on the tech, while Google is reportedly working on AI agents that can make purchases, such as booking flights and hotels.
