A remarkable startup is developing a groundbreaking AI system that promises to give creators unprecedented capabilities for generating cinematic worlds. The company, named Odyssey, employs a unique approach: having staff carry specialized camera systems to gather scene data from around the globe. Founded by autonomous driving experts Oliver Cameron and Jeff Hawke, Odyssey recently completed an $18 million Series A funding round led by EQT Ventures.

Microsoft has launched the 'AI Odyssey' project aimed at training 100,000 developers in India to master the latest AI technologies and tools. There is an urgent need for skilled labor in India that can address AI challenges and create value, as artificial intelligence transforms work and life. Participants will learn to create and deploy AI solutions suitable for different scenarios using Azure AI services. The project is divided into two levels, and those who complete it will receive Microsoft Application Skills Certification, demonstrating their AI capabilities in solving real-world problems. Participants who successfully complete both levels will also have the opportunity to win.
