The Changing Landscape of AI Funding

The AI industry is experiencing a shift in its funding landscape, with leading AI firms being backed by different investors compared to previous technology waves. Unlike the SaaS and social media eras, many of these AI companies receive funding from corporate venture firms and attract older, more seasoned founders. One reason for this change is the public's growing awareness of the dangers of AI, leading to a greater focus on governance and structure within these companies.
