Amazon.com Inc. hired top executives and other employees from startup Adept AI Labs Inc., a move by the e-commerce and cloud-computing giant to bolster the development of artificial general intelligence, an advanced version of AI that can think like a human.
David Luan, Adept’s co-founder and former chief executive officer, will join Amazon’s AGI autonomy team, led by Rohit Prasad, according to an internal memo Amazon provided to Bloomberg. Four other co-founders and an unspecified number of other team members will also join Prasad’s group.
