Ineffable Intelligence, an AI startup founded by former Google DeepMind researcher David Silver, has hired six prominent individuals as "cofounders." These new hires include four former colleagues from Google DeepMind, two of whom were instrumental in the AlphaStar project, and another who worked on weather prediction AI. The group also features a former research head from InstaDeep and a partner from venture capital firm Flying Fish, which was an early investor in Ineffable. This significant hiring spree by Ineffable, which recently secured substantial seed funding, contributes to a trend of top AI talent departing Google DeepMind to join emerging "neolabs" focused on creating AI superintelligence.
