AI 100: The most promising artificial intelligence companies

The hottest startups are artificial intelligence companies and these organizations are waking waves across most leading sectors, from finance to healthcare. CBI insights has recently unrevealed its pick of the 100 leading companies.

The CBI selection, called “ai.100” contains the most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world. The list relates to those companies that have made significant progress in the field during 2018. CBI insights produces research briefs that examine in depth areas like retail, healthcare, financial services in terms of AI activity. 
 
The list, which was whittled down from over two thousand, focuses on the teams and technologies that have used artificial intelligence to address major sectoral challenges. From the one hundred companies, additional awards were given to those that have made the biggest impact. 
 
In terms of how big the artificial intelligence market is becoming, 55 of the 100 companies have raised additional funding nearing $2 billion. Five of the companies have since been acquired by major corporations. 
 
The one hundred AI pioneers includes startups operating in areas like drug discovery, cybersecurity, robotics and legal technology. Three examples of the array of firms are profiled below.  
 
Figure Eight  
 
Figure Eight is based in San Francisco. The company has developed software which automates tasks for machine learning algorithms. These are used to improve catalog search results, approve photos or support customers. An application example is with intelligent personal assistants. The company has raised $58 million in venture capital. 
 
PerimeterX 
 
PerimeterX is a cyber security company which established systems to prevent automated web and mobile application attacks. The platform protects systems by detecting and protecting against malicious web behavior. Artificial intelligence is used to separate the actions of bots from those of normal users. The AI further identifies behaviors that are unlikely to represent human actions. 
 
Textio  
 
Textio is an augmented writing platform that tells the user who will respond to their writing based on the language they have included within a document. The platform also provides guidance on how the text within a document can be improved.

The 4 Waves of AI: Who Will Own the Future of Technology?

Recently, I( Peter H. Diamandis ) picked up Kai-Fu Lee’s newest book,  AI Superpowers . Kai-Fu Lee is one of the most plugged-in AI investors on the planet, managing over $2 billion between six funds and over 300 portfolio companies in the US and China. Drawing from his pioneering work in AI, executive leadership at Microsoft, Apple, and Google (where he served as founding president of Google China), and his founding of VC fund Sinovation Ventures, Lee shares invaluable insights about: The four factors driving today’s AI ecosystems; China’s extraordinary inroads in AI implementation; Where autonomous systems are headed; How we’ll need to adapt. With a foothold in both Beijing and Silicon Valley, Lee looks at the power balance between Chinese and US tech behemoths—each turbocharging new applications of deep learning and sweeping up global markets in the process. In this post, I’ll be discussing Lee’s “Four Waves of AI ,” an excellent framework for discus...

Time to Put Artificial Intelligence in Proper Perspective

Artificial intelligence will be a disruptive technology across many industries, but it’s likely to be additive to human tasks, not a replacement. “Automate a mess, get an automated mess,” noted consultant Mike Hammer famously said a few decades back. That tried-and-true phrase has never been more applicable than in the current age of artificial intelligence and machine learning, in which decisions are delivered across systems and networks at blinding, real-time speeds. A moribund, floundering business may find speeding up decision-making only will hasten its demise. Analysts at McKinsey recently weighed in on this matter, seeing AI as a transformational force that will extend and expand human tasks. The McKinsey researchers, James Manyika and Kevin Sneader, take a positive view, noting AI technologies “will transform the nature of work and the workplace itself. Machines will be able to carry out more of the tasks done by humans, complement the work that hum...
