What Founders Say
Anne-Margot Rodde, Co-CEO, said: “The AI systems being built now need to understand how the physical world works and how things move. That data essentially lives in video games.” 1
She added: “Video game industry was sitting on incredibly valuable data, but there was no real way or infrastructure to connect AI labs and the video game industry.” 1
