Artificial intelligence startup Simile has raised $100 million in a new funding round to develop a model to predict human behaviour, including guessing which items customers might buy and which questions could be asked on earnings calls, according to a report by Bloomberg. Prominent AI personalities such as Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy also participated in the funding round. According to the report, Simile surfaced from stealth this week after having spent the past seven months developing an AI model trained on interviews with hundreds of real people about their lives. Simile also thinks its technology can help companies better prepare for questions analysts might ask on earnings calls and predict how a particular corporate announcement may be received by analysing prior calls and research. We are now developing a foundation model that predicts human behaviour in any situation, at any scale,” the company website says, highlighting the scope of its work.
