According to a report by Techstartups, Safe Superintelligence (SSI), an artificial intelligence startup founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever last year, is in talks for a new round of funding with a valuation of at least $20 billion. This valuation is four times the $5 billion valuation from the $1 billion funding round completed in September last year. The specific amount of funding has not yet been determined and negotiations are still in the early stages.
