Superintelligent Systems Inc. (SSI), a new AI startup co-founded by Ilya Sutskever of OpenAI, is reportedly in talks for a valuation that could reach $20 billion, according to sources familiar with the situation.
SSI aims to create next-generation artificial intelligence with a strong emphasis on safety and alignment, and it has garnered considerable interest from investors during the current AI boom. While the company has not yet revealed specifics about its technology or business model, the involvement of Sutskever—who played a crucial role in OpenAI’s early successes—has sparked speculation about its future prospects.
This potential valuation highlights the ongoing competition among AI firms to develop cutting-edge systems while addressing regulatory and ethical concerns. If the funding round is completed, SSI would rank among the most valuable AI startups globally.
