Project Prometheus is developing AI tools tailored for complex, real-world physical systems, a field that aligns with Bezos's long-standing interest in space, engineering and advanced manufacturing

Before co-founding Prometheus, Bajaj served as director at Google X, Google’s famous ‘moonshot factory,’ working closely with co-founder Sergey Brin on new technology breakthroughs.

Bezos, the third-richest person in the world, will serve as co-chief executive and co-founder alongside physicist and chemist Vik Bajaj.
