The AI Rush: Uncovering the Hidden Treasures of the Digital Gold Mine

Hello there, AI gold rush

The world is witnessing a multibillion-dollar boom in the artificial intelligence industry, with VC firms pouring billions into hundreds of AI companies in the US alone. The hype is real, with startups like Cohere and Stability AI commanding valuations of over $4 billion each.

As the number of AI startups incubated at Y Combinator continues to rise, the question remains: who will win the AI gold rush? Will it be the bold newcomers with innovative ideas, or will the spoils go to the incumbents with armies of engineers and widespread distribution?

Many AI startups may struggle to outcompete Big Tech giants like Google and Microsoft, who have already announced competing features for AI-powered presentation maker, Tome. Sam Lessin, a venture capitalist at Slow Ventures, warns that the absolute vast majority of AI spoils will go to the incumbents.

As the AI gold rush heats up, will investors be better off buying Big Tech stocks or betting on the bold newcomers? Only time will tell which strategy will lead to the biggest payoff.
