A new start-up in the AI sector
Artificial intelligence soon used to build aircraft engines? This is the bet that P-1 AI launched, founded by Paul Eremenko, Aleksa Gordić and Adam Nagel. Respectively ex-technical director of Airbus, ex-researcher at Google Deepmind and the former chief engineer of the Airbus innovation center, the three men created a new AI, named Archie, to assist the engineers in charge of designing the aircraft engines.
A project made possible thanks to a fundraising carried out by Radical Ventures, a company specializing in investment in start-ups operating artificial intelligence, up to $ 23 million. A background lifting which has participated Village Global, in which Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg are investors.
“The level of a junior engineer”
With Archie, the developers have the idea of integrating this new AI, to perform repetitive tasks, such as the interpretation of the requirements, the generation of the first concept concepts, or the verification of regulatory compliance, as explained Fortune.
The capacities of artificial intelligence will be “From the level of a junior engineer, with a rapid improvement trajectory from the return of human information and learning from the real world”, The neo-business said in a press release. He will therefore have the same knowledge as an engineer at the start of his career, with less than 2 to 3 years of professional experience after having graduated.
A technology potentially used for spacecrafts?
Archie should be put on the market during the year, announced P-1 AI, which takes its name Adolescence of P-1, A science fiction novel by Thomas Joseph Ryan published in 1977 and devoted to a conscious AI. According to BFMTV, the company's ambition is to implement its artificial intelligence system in sectors such as defense, automobile or aerospace.
Regarding the last city, Paul Eremenko had declared to Fortune “I want a super artificial intelligence capable of building spaceships and spheres of Dyson”. A will that could be realized, especially if Archie turns out to be a success in the construction of plane engines.
