Former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor and vice president of Labs at Alphabet's Google Clay Bavor are reportedly launching their own artificial intelligence startup.
Taylor announced the news through a LinkedIn post, adding, "rarely do
you encounter a new technology so powerful that it feels inevitable that
it will change the course of every industry."
- Details,
such as the company name and the scope of the venture, have been kept
confidential, with further updates to follow in due time.
- Bavor
— who will leave Google in March — added that the firm will leverage
"AI to solve some of the most important problems in business."
- Salesforce acquired Taylor's startup Quip and instilled him as co-CEO along with Marc Benioff for a year.
- After Salesforce, Taylor had a stint as a chairman at Twitter until the latter was acquired by Elon Musk.
- Taylor and Bavor's organization will be the most recent to ride the wave of artificial intelligence applications.
- Microsoft
integrated OpenAI's ChatGPT OpenAI's Bing platform, and rival Google
announced its own conversational AI service called Bard.
