An in-demand talent pool"Many previously poorly understood secrets will be more widely disseminated across the ecosystem," one European AI founder who spoke on the condition of anonymity said. But European competitors can still benefit from OpenAI's implosion. The startup had been on an uninterrupted run for the past year, said EarlyBird VC partner and Aleph Alpha investor Andre Retterath. The turmoil at OpenAI has also galvanized both AI founders and investors in Europe. The company's top expenditure, besides employee salaries, is manually cleaning and sourcing the data they use to train their models, a European VC said.

Generative AI startups have particularly benefited from the boom, attracting more than $18 billion in VC funding in 2023, according to Air Street Capital's State of AI report, released on Thursday. One of the main challenges facing AI startups right now is that they need to process large amounts of data in order to generate their high quality output. An alternative could be that financial institutions, such as banks, launch GPU debt funds that replace VC equity dollars that would otherwise be spent on compute funding, the report's authors predicted. GPU debt funds are also an attractive option for regulators, who are "keen to encourage responsible non-dilutive funding," which usually "carries fewer regulatory requirements than equity financing," Benaich said. "I don't think GPU debt funds are going to happen overnight, but with interest rates still high, private credit is becoming increasingly appealing," Benaich told Insider.

Investors plowed about $25 billion into AI companies in the first three months of 2023. Other US generative AI startups including Adept, Inflection AI, Pinecone and Runway have all raised major rounds in the last few months. AI is minting unicorn-valued companies even in the tech downturnFunding into AI startups was down slightly for the full-year in 2022, matching a broader downturn in tech funding. And VC funding to generative AI startups specifically, many of which are very early-stage businesses, topped $1.7 billion in Q1 2023, per Pitchbook. "No one wants to invest in AI that's going to wipe out humanity," said AlbionVC's Grimm.

A few biotech companies have used AI to develop drugs that are already being tested in people. Insider found eight AI biotechs now in the clinic, a critical stage in drug development. Some of the fastest progress has been in using AI to improve the process of creating medicines. At the start of 2020, AI-focused biotechs had zero drugs in the clinic, according to Air Street Capital. Here are the eight biotechs using AI to develop better drugs, in order of how many drugs they have in human testing.
The startup allows machine learning teams to build computer vision AI models. Computer vision models extract information from visual data sources, such as images and videos, to help computers and machines to better interpret these visual inputs. Many computer vision models are powered by machine learning technology, but this process can be time-consuming to engineer. This helps companies to develop AI models much faster and cuts down on the time needed to manage machine learning data, according to V7. V7 labels data automatically, so that teams do not have to annotate the data from scratch.
