Prowler.io nabs $13M for its new approach to decision making in AI

As we continue to see a wide proliferation of artificial intelligence-based startups come to market, one of the persistent and big questions has been is whether an AI system will ever be able to make decisions as well as a human can. A startup out of Cambridge called Prowler.io is developing a new kind of decision-making platform based on probabilistic modelling, reinforcement learning and game theory that it believes may help the AI community answer that question with a "yes." Co-founded by two alums from another AI company, VocalIQ, which was acquired by Apple 13 months after launch -- Prowler.io today is announcing that it has raised £10 million ($13 million) to help it along the way. Led by new investor Cambridge Innovation Capital, the round also had participation from Atlantic Bridge Capital as well as previous investors Passion Capital, Amadeus Capital Partners and SG Innovate, who participated in Prowler's $2 million seed round last year. Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly crowded area.
