As AI transforms the way companies operate, it is also creating exciting new opportunities for growth. In this video, AV’s Chief Investment Officer Mark Edwards discusses four sectors impacted by artificial intelligence — and where Alumni Ventures has made notable investments.

AI is appearing in seemingly every corner of modern life. From navigation to customer service to healthcare, artificial intelligence has begun to enter every aspect of the human experience.

In this video, AV’s Chief Investment Officer Mark Edwards looks at four key areas where AV has backed portfolio companies using artificial intelligence and machine learning to disrupt their respective sectors while making significant — even life-changing — contributions to our world.
