Visualizing the AI boom (or bubble), with Carta’s Peter Walker
About this episode
We’ve all heard the hype, but what does the data say about the AI gold rush? According to Peter Walker, Head of Insights for Carta, around 40 percent of the money they see being raised goes to AI companies. A master of data visualization, Walker takes investment information from the over 55,000 start-ups on Carta and turns it into digestible figures. He joins Pioneers of AI to break down where private money is actually flowing, whether we’re in an AI bubble, and what emerging investment patterns tell us about the future of the sector. Hear what the numbers reveal about the AI economy as investors continue to chase unicorns.
