This is the first time I hear of a group receiving founding to navigate AI era. Why this one and not all the others that have to adapt to the AI era?

(Yes I know it's not the group directly receiving the founding)

It’s simple: Because Jim Simons (who founded RenTech and Simons Foundation) was a prominent mathematician himself.

He was also a major backer of autism research, because his family member had it. People spend money to where their passion is.

Mathematicians are not dummies?
