techstrong.ai, Friday, December 13th, 2024
It's a two-nation race for artificial intelligence (AI) funding, and venture capitalists in the U.S. are ready to invest more than twice their Chinese counterparts in 2025.
American VCs are gearing up to pour $87.4 billion into AI next year, followed by China's $40.58 billion, according to a report released Friday by AIPRM, which has analyzed VC investment trends since 2012. The Nos. 3-10 ranked countries are projected to collectively spend less than $30 billion next year.
The study honed in on investments in AI start-ups, AI in environmental sustainability, generative AI start-ups and compute start-ups. The U.S. led in investments in AI start-ups, at $9.5 billion.
