While Serguéi Brin focuses in stepping on the accelerator To position Google in his career for AI, Larry Page is already exploring the industrial profits that future artificial intelligence models will have.
As published The InformationPage would be behind Dynatoms, a startup focused on applying artificial intelligence algorithms to the DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS optimizing the Use of materials and tools.
Of artificial intelligence to industrial intelligence
As It echoed TechcrunchLarry Page’s new project would not be linked to Google (except for its founder), and seeks to create “highly optimized” designs through the use of AI models to accelerate processes that usually require months of human work.
This initiative marks the return of Page at the head of a technological project, then staying for several years in the role of discrete investor of aeronautics companies As Kitty Hawk.
No details about Dynatoms activities are not known yet, but for what he has published The Informationits approach would not be limited to software: the platform would directly integrate the designs generated by In factories to start their industrial production. This connection would close the cycle from the design of a product to its chain manufacture, something innovative in a sector where both stages are usually managed separately.
Page is not alone in this adventure. According to the investigations of The InformationHe is accompanied by Chris Anderson, former director of Kitty Hawk technology and hardware expert. The rest of the team would be formed by specialized engineers in AI, robotics and manufacturing systems.
Since it is a very recent project in which Larry Page is still working, the names of these specialists are not known, but given the trajectory of both founders, it would not be unreasonable to find former Alphabet and Kitty Hawk employees.
Early, but with a lot of future
Although Page has been working in Dynatoms for months, the startup still has no launch date or confirmed customers. Sources close to the project cited by The Information They indicate that its founders prioritize technology before their presentation to the public. This contrasts with the usual approach in Silicon Valley de Lanz minimally viable productsalthough then they have to close them precipitously.
According to a McKinsey studythe market potential to implement the supply chain and manufacturing could contribute up to 3.5 billion annually to the manufacturing sector by 2030.
If Dynatoms manages to climb, he could compete with giants such as Autodesk or even with the generative tools of companies such as Openai, but specializing in concrete industrial applications. But it will not be alone in that area.
Startups such as Orbital Materials is already using the for Develop new materials For the industry. Physicsx They are applying iA to optimize product design complex Like cars or aircraft using digital twins to accelerate its development. All of them are working to optimize processes with tools that do not even exist, but when they arrive, they will be at the forefront in their application.
