    I feel like AI VC in SV is overcrowded by a considerable factor. There is far more money than viable ideas. And VC firms lack AI experts.

        Add to that SoftBank and its $100B fund, where the CEO earnestly believes that the Singularity is coming in 2045...

        Having personal experience here, I can say they've calmed down a lot since feb. Softbank is focused on making money with AI.

        do you feel there are enough opportunities for "pure" AI startups to make an AI-fund viable? versus specific apps that make use of AI

        hopefully makes sense - hard to articulate in a tweet :)

        I'm biased but that's why I'm extremely excited about the AI VC market in China

        China is a lot more exciting than the US in general. US investment in AI is very risk adverse.

        Agreed. TBH spending the few hours/month with our AI/ML advisors + their diligence has shined a harsh light on AI startups that seem amazing

        We've been intentional in having a broad array of people around us in terms of vertical focus + application for different types of ML.

        I started Keras before I joined Google. In general I don't think big company resources are a requirement to start and grow an OSS project

        VC always been better at evaluating business then technical reality. They knew car share would be huge. They know AI will be huge.
