What we’ve learned from the women behind the AI revolution
Sunday - April 7 - 2024
Good morning.
The AI boom, love it or find it to be a bit more hype than substance, is here to stay. That means lots of companies raising oodles of dollars, a healthy dose of regulatory concern, academic work, and corporate jockeying.
For startups, it means a huge opportunity to bring new technology to bear on a host of industries that could use a bit of polish.
But if you read the news, you might notice that men are the far and away most cited, and discussed players in AI today.
So, TechCrunch’s Dominic-Madori Davis and Kyle Wiggers decided to go out and talk to women working in AI to learn more about their work, how they got into the world of artificial intelligence, and more.
Computer vision startups are looking to jump on that opportunity with a range of point solutions for both industries.
From data collection to crop monitoring and harvesting, robots with eyes are entering the fields.

The AI boom, love it or find it to be a bit more hype than substance, is here to stay.
That means lots of companies raising oodles of dollars, a healthy dose of regulatory concern, academic work, and corporate jockeying.
For startups, it means a huge opportunity to bring new technology to bear on a host of industries that could use a bit of polish.
But if you read the news, you might notice that men are the far and away most cited, and discussed players in AI today.
So, TechCrunch’s Dominic-Madori Davis and Kyle Wiggers decided to go out and talk to women working in AI to learn more about their work, how they got into the world of artificial intelligence, and more.
The series has been running for some time now, so it was the perfect moment to get the pair of them onto the Equity podcast for a chat about the project.
Faced with labor shortages, sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture are increasingly adopting AI in their automation.
Computer vision startups are looking to jump on that opportunity with a range of point solutions for both industries.
From data collection to crop monitoring and harvesting, robots with eyes are entering the fields.
One big challenge that remains, however, is implementation: If such solutions are not easy to use, they won’t be used.
Belgian startup Robovision believes it has found a way around that. The company wants to industrialize deep learning tools and make them more accessible to businesses that are not tech companies at their core.
It has built a “no-code” computer vision AI platform that doesn’t require software developers or data scientists to be involved at every step of the process.
Robovision doesn’t make robots, but as its name suggests, the company also targets robotics companies that want to develop new machines that support AI-enabled automation.
Few groups are as exclusive as the $1 trillion club. This club has only six members, each a U.S. company with a market capitalization of at least $1 trillion.
Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms are in the club now. All of them are artificial intelligence (AI) leaders.
Here's the AI stock I think will be the next to join the $1 trillion club.
I won't try to build up the suspense. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is the AI stock I predict will be the next in line behind Meta, Amazon, and others with market caps of $1 trillion or more.
However, I'm not arguing that Broadcom will be the next to achieve that milestone; it will just be the next AI stock to do so.
The European Union and United States put out a joint statement Friday affirming a desire to increase cooperation over artificial intelligence.
The agreement covers AI safety and governance, but also, more broadly, an intent to collaborate across a number of other tech issues, such as developing digital identity standards and applying pressure on platforms to defend human rights.
As we reported Wednesday, this is the fruit of the sixth (and possibly last) meeting of the EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council (TTC).
The TTC has been meeting since 2021 in a bid to rebuild transatlantic relations battered by the Trump presidency.
Given the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the White House in the U.S. presidential elections taking place later this year, it’s not clear how much EU-U.S. cooperation on AI or any other strategic tech area will actually happen in the near future.

This AI Startup Wants You to Talk to Houses, Cars, and Factories
We’ve all been astonished at how chatbots seem to understand the world. But what if they were truly connect to the real world?
What if the dataset behind the chat interface was physical reality itself, captured in real time by interpreting the input of billions of sensors sprinkled around the globe?
That’s the idea behind Archetype AI, an ambitious startup launching today. As cofounder and CEO Ivan Poupyrev puts it, “Think of ChatGPT, but for physical reality.”
To Build a Better AI Supercomputer, Let There Be Light
Most artificial intelligence experts seem to agree that taking the next big leap in the field will depend at least partly on building supercomputers on a once unimaginable scale.
At an event hosted by the venture capital firm Sequoia last month, the CEO of a startup called Lightmatter pitched a technology that might well enable this hyperscale computing rethink by letting chips talk directly to one another using light.
Meta to start labeling AI-generated content in May
Facebook and Instagram giant Meta on Friday said it will begin labeling AI-generated media beginning in May, as it tries to reassure users and governments over the risks of deepfakes.
The social media juggernaut added that it will no longer remove manipulated images and audio that don't otherwise break its rules, relying instead on labeling and contextualization, so as to not infringe on freedom of speech.
Google engineer stole AI tech for Chinese firms
A former Google engineer has been charged with stealing trade secrets related to the company’s AI technology and secretly working with two Chinese firms.
Linwei Ding, a 38-year-old Chinese national, was arrested on Wednesday in Newark, California, and faces four counts of federal trade secret theft, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Here’s Proof the AI Boom Is Real: More People Are Tapping ChatGPT at Work
Ever since the rollout of ChatGPT in November 2022, many people in science, business, and media have been obsessed with AI.
A cursory look at my own published work during that period fingers me as among the guilty.
My defense is that I share with those other obsessives a belief that large language models are the leading edge of an epochal transformation.
