Artificial intelligence research start-up Vicarious announced today that it has received a $15 million Series A round led by Good Ventures. The funding values the company at more than $100 million. <\/p>\n
\"The technology that Vicarious is developing has the potential to improve all lives and revolutionize every industry,\" Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook co-founder and founder of Good Ventures, said in a sweeping statement to the press. Moskovitz also announced he will join Vicarious's board of directors. <\/p>\n
Vicarious, co-founded in 2010 by Dileep George and D. Scott Phoenix, said the $15 million will be used exclusively for research and development of its Recursive Cortical Network, the company's flagship software that aims to \"learn\" like the human brain. <\/p>\n
