Jeff Bezos will join Project Prometheus as co-CEO alongside co-founder Vik Bajaj, according to the New York Times, marking Bezos’s first hands-on operating role since stepping down as Amazon’s chief executive in 2021. The AI startup has reportedly raised about $6.2 billion, making it one of the most heavily funded early-stage ventures, and aims to apply artificial intelligence to manufacturing across computing, automotive, and aerospace sectors. The company has hired talent from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta, signaling ambitions to compete in industrial AI. Bezos’s move comes as he maintains a high-profile presence in space through Blue Origin, which recently achieved a milestone with its New Glenn booster landing.
