PANews reported on March 27 that, according to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI has invested in Isara, an artificial intelligence startup founded by two 23-year-old researchers. Isara aims to develop software that can coordinate thousands of AI agents to work collaboratively to solve complex problems in fields such as finance and biotechnology. Isara recently completed a $94 million funding round at a $650 million valuation, with investors including Michael Ovitz and Stanley Druckenmiller, and OpenAI participating in the investment.
Isara's founders co-authored an academic paper last June, proposing a solution to improve policymaking through collaborative AI systems. The company has currently recruited approximately 12 researchers from companies such as Google, Meta, and OpenAI. Isara plans to initially sell its predictive modeling software to investment institutions and has already demonstrated its ability to coordinate approximately 2,000 AI agents to predict gold prices.
