Artificial Intelligence has consistently been one of the biggest stories in tech.

It’s hard to go more than 3 stories on TechCrunch, 3 products on ProductHunt, or 3 startups on AngelList without coming across this buzzword.

While we can debate when AI is going to take our jobs, the types of problems AI can and can’t solve, or how long it takes for AI to kill us all, one aspect of AI that’s hard to debate is that it’s growing rapidly.

This rapid growth is happening in:

Funding

SenseTime, China’s biggest AI startup just raised $620MM at a $4.5B valuation.

Number of Companies

There has been a 14x increase since 2000.

Jobs

Share of jobs requiring AI skills has increased by 4.5x since 2013.
