Schmidt\u2019s new company will be a non-profit.<br \/>\nEric Schmidt has previously warned about the dangers of unregulated AI and how it can affect the 2024 election. He said AI could turn the upcoming US election into a \u201cmess,\u201d and its abuse can even put people\u2019s lives in danger. The former tech executive now wants to dive deep into AI by launching an AI science company.<br \/>\nAccording to the people familiar with the case, Schmidt started to hire top scientists for his new organization. Two of the most prominent scientists who joined Schmidt\u2019s startup are Samuel Rodriques, founder of the Applied Biotechnology Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute, and Andrew White, a University of Rochester professor. Andrew White also specializes in the application of artificial intelligence in chemistry.<br \/>\nFormer Google CEO Eric Schmidt starts an AI-science company<br \/>\nThe name of Schmidt\u2019s startup is yet to be discovered, but it\u2019s said to be an OpenAI-like organization. OpenAI is the ChatGPT parent company and one of the leading companies in AI development. It also first started as a non-profit organization. However, it changed its strategies after launching ChatGPT and accepting an over $10 billion fund from Microsoft.<br \/>\nSchmidt will personally fund this new company, but he might also accept investments. He\u2019s offering competitive salaries and resources to hire more top scientists. There are no further details about the goals and prospects of this company.<br \/>\nIn an article for MIT Technology Review, Schmidt said, \u201cWith the advent of AI, science is about to become much more exciting \u2014 and in some ways unrecognizable.\u201d The former Google CEO added, \u201cThe reverberations of this shift will be felt far outside the lab; they will affect us all.\u201d<br \/>\nEric Schmidt and his wife also support other AI-science projects.
