Why Jeff Bezos is betting on the Artificial General Engineer, not AGI

For AI companies, the current efforts to push LLM-based AI are to attain AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) – a theoretical, omnipotent software capable of matching or exceeding human intellect across all domains, i.e., from writing poetry to passing bar exams. Jeff Bezos, the name associated with Amazon, Blue Origin and Prometheus, isn’t chasing AGI, though.

In a recent interview with CNBC, the Amazon founder drew a massive line in the sand surrounding rumours of his heavily funded, highly secretive stealth startup, Project Prometheus – which already commands a $38 billion valuation). Bezos denied the idea that he is building standard AI chatbots or humanoid robotics.
