Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has taken a stake in OpenAI, the popular artificial intelligence player that's behind ChatGPT. In a Thursday email to clients, the St. Petersburg, Florida-based asset manager said her ARK Venture Fund has invested in OpenAI as of Wednesday. Wood's firm launched the venture fund in September 2022, giving small investors access to the venture capital market with as little as $500 . The widely followed Wood has been a big AI bull, saying it's the most important catalyst in every corner of her disruptive innovation strategy. Wood has also spoken highly of DeepMind, an AI intelligence research lab acquired by Google in 2014, calling it "one of the best AI companies in the world."

☆ Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt tapped for federal biotech commission that allows members to keep biotech investments
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Eamon Javers | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
On Dec. 30, leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees announced the selection of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and 11 others to serve on a new federal commission on biotechnology. The appointment, however, doesn't require commission members to divest their own personal biotech investments — even as they help shape U.S. policy overseeing the industry. The person didn't say when Schmidt made the decision to donate profits, adding that he hasn't yet named any recipient charities. The new federal commission will likely have a say in steering such investments over the two years of its lifetime. Schmidt's biotech investments are relatively recent.
