After I read the Forbes report “AI 50“, I think that AI has been everywhere lately, with all these cool new tools like ChatGPT and image generators that can do things we never thought possible. It used to be something that only happened in fancy labs and offices in Silicon Valley, but now it’s catching on all over the place. And that’s not just exciting because we can do more with AI than ever before, but it’s also fueling all kinds of new businesses that are popping up left and right.
If you’re someone who’s been keeping an eye on the AI industry, you probably already knew this was coming. There’s this list called the AI 50 that recognizes the most promising companies that are building businesses out of AI. This year, they got almost 800 submissions from all over the world. The companies on the list have received over $27 billion in funding altogether, which is crazy.
Some of these companies have been working with AI for a long time, like Scale AI, which has been helping turn concepts into reality for years. Others, like AlphaSense and Vectra AI, have been around for over a decade. And then there are all these new startups that are taking advantage of the investor frenzy around AI to build impressive businesses. Some of them have even grown their customer bases without raising any funding.
It’s exciting to see all of these companies doing such cool things with AI, but there’s still work to be done to make the industry more diverse and equitable. The AI 50 list encourages companies to share data on diversity, but there are still only a handful of companies with women or Black or Latino founders. So while it’s great that AI is becoming more accessible and widespread, we need to make sure that everyone has a chance to be part of it.
