This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.
This week the funding amounts continued to come in under the magical $100M point, as was the case last week. Also, four of the five top deals were US-based, which is encouraging for continued innovation in America, despite the rather chaotic financial environment we are all living in these days.
This week’s funding winners were within the following sectors: conversastional AI, image analysis, ethical deployment of AI, IP rights, and security – so once again, a rather diverse group, and we suspect this will continue to be the case as we move forward with this series.
