David Silver, a senior figure at Google DeepMind, has raised $1.1 billion to develop a new type of artificial intelligence that can learn without relying on human-generated data. The project focuses on systems capable of self-learning through interaction and simulation rather than traditional datasets. The funding reflects strong investor interest in next-generation AI approaches. Silver aims to advance AI models that can independently acquire knowledge and skills, marking a shift from current training methods that depend heavily on human-labelled information and curated datasets.
