The firm’s mission is to hold other companies long-term, revitalizing them with AI. Currently, Thrive Holdings holds over 75 companies, it says.
作为合作伙伴，OpenAI 向 Thrive 的公司提供 AI 模型和技术，以及被称为前置部署工程师的人员。

ADT 与 Thrive 均未宣布将推出哪些新的 AI 驱动安全产品，但他们暗示计划进行投资并推出新产品。新闻稿称：“ADT 将成为 Thrive Holdings 智能家居安防业务的基石”。
Neither ADT nor Thrive announced what new AI-powered security products they will be releasing, but they did tease that the plan was to invest and release new products. “ADT will form the foundation of Thrive Holdings’ smart home security business,” the press release said.
AI 驱动的物理安全正处于热潮。苹果刚刚与 LG 和施耐德电气合作推出新系列智能家居和安防产品，进军该领域。亚马逊更新了其智能家居系列，新增 AI 驱动的家庭摄像头。ADT 已与苹果和谷歌合作，预计将继续保持合作。未来会怎样尚不可知；一些初创公司正提供 AI 狗机器人作为巡逻安保员。
AI-powered physical security is having a moment right now. Apple just entered the field with a new line of smart home and home security products in collaboration with LG and Schneider Electric. Amazon updated its smart home line, including new AI-powered home cameras. ADT already partners with Apple and Google and is expected to continue to do so. And who knows what the future might bring? Some startups are offering AI dog robots as roving security guards.
