Have AI Investments Reached A Tipping Point?

Investment in artificial intelligence startups hit a record high of $59 billion in 2021, up from $28 billion in 2020, according to Crunchbase data. Venture investment in AI startups will only continue to rise in the next five years. That's because AI has finally reached a tipping point where it is powerful and affordable enough to make a real economic impact on diverse industries. AI is a broad category, but generally encompasses all "intelligent" software that can learn from itself in some capacity. This can include machine-learning platforms and the software used by robots, and self-driving vehicles to interpret the environments around them.
