From AI operating systems for self-driving cars to self-learning language processing platforms, artificial intelligence truly spans the industry sectors. With the potential to disrupt so many areas, venture capital firms are jumping on the bandwagon to fund the brains behind the projects, getting themselves ahead of the curve. A sharp increase in AI-related venture capitalist investments could transform global economies and shape the future of artificial intelligence. The United States (US) and the People's Republic of China (hereafter "China") are leading this wave of investments that tend to concentrate on a few key industries. Venture Capitalists all over the world are a fundamental part of the startup ecosystem. When a startup has achieved its development stage, its most vital prerequisite is without a doubt the investment by strong financial investors and an adequate amount of funding to scale up. In spite of the fact that the idea of starting up has picked up the trend as of late, however, the modest number of investors willing to demonstrate their trust and put resources into new pursuits has been an issue for startups. Numerous startups think that it's hard to approach venture capitalists and many times the investment structure of the financial investor is insufficient for the startup. Let's have a look at the top 100 venture capitalists investing in AI-based companies in 2023.
