AI Funding Data, News, and Tools. Edition #04

Welcome to the 4th issue of the AI Track – your destination for the latest news, tools, and funding data in AI and ML. 🥳

As Artificial Intelligence becomes more powerful, tech giants have weighed in on the technology's potential. Bill Gates is a well-known supporter, recently calling it "quite revolutionary". He has also mentioned that he doesn't think "Web3 was that big or that metaverse stuff alone was revolutionary".

And I agree for the most part. The traction that AI has gained over empty web3 or "metaverse" worlds can be seen in its widespread adoption by businesses and governments across the globe. In recent years, major companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook have invested heavily in AI research and development initiatives. These investments have allowed for faster progress and more specialized applications of AI than ever before.

There is much more tangible evidence of the potential for AI to revolutionize our lives. I think we will also see more and more robots acting as personal assistants or medical diagnostic tools. Another example: Autonomous taxis will soon be a thing in Dubai.

But I don't want to go too deep here. A lot is happening this week; you can read more about it in the news section.

Before I show you all of the AI tools I discovered this week, I wanted to mention the post I released on LinkedIn yesterday. Thanks to all the people who engaged and left their comments. 🙏
