Vicarious has the mission to “build the next generation of artificial intelligence algorithms.” That said, its objectives are longer-term in nature. Although Vicarious has assembled a who’s who of technology legends as investors, including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg, the company is clear that the biggest value it can contribute will be in the long-term, in the form of artificial general intelligence (AGI), or human-like intelligence. There will be plenty of value created in the interim in the form of what co-founder, Scott Phoenix refers to as the “exhaust” of the process.
