Big Money for AI – But at What Cost?

September 21, 2024 | [Read Online]( Welcome, AI enthusiasts. Hope your day is going gre​at! We've got some exciting updates to share with you. AI startups are seeing a flood of investments, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. New regulations are starting to take shape, and the next steps from Big Tech could really catch you off guard! 🔑 Key Points: - DeepL lands $300M at a $2B valuation in the AI translation game. - Scale AI secures a staggering $1B, hitting nearly $14B in valuation. - French startup H becomes the latest unicorn with $220M in seed funding. - Big Tech firms like Amazon, Meta, and Nvidia are investing heavily, despite looming antitrust concerns. 📈 The Inside Scoop: The AI world just got a seri​ous ca​sh injection, with companies like DeepL, Scale AI, and French startup H drawing massive investments. But there's a twist – Big Tech is behind much of this funding, raising eyebrows from regulators. Microsoft, for instance, holds a chunky 49% of OpenAI, and Amazon just dropped $4B on Anthropic! While these giants avo​id full takeovers, they're snapping up enough shares to keep their influence strong (and maybe under the radar). 💡 Why It Matters: Even with potential regulation around the corner, tech titans aren’t backing down from investing in AI. Their strategy? Take just enough ownership to influence these startups without triggering full-blown antitrust alarms. For companies like Nvidia, which just hit a $2.5T valuation, it’s clear AI isn’t just the future—it’s already h​ere. 🔗 Want the full scoop?
