In the second quarter of 2024, a staggering $24 billion in venture capital flowed into AI startups. But where exactly is all that money going, and what does it signify for businesses navigating the AI landscape?

Courtney Baker, David DeWolf, and Mohan Rao break down the three major categories where AI investment is focused: vertical AI applications, horizontal AI applications, and AI development infrastructure. David and Mohan highlight why business leaders should care about this surge in funding, emphasizing how it signals the next wave of AI innovation and practical ROI for companies that strategically invest.

Also, James O’Brien, co-founder of Ducky.AI, shares insights into how his AI-powered customer support platform is transforming knowledge management in businesses and explains how AI is augmenting—not replacing—human tasks.
