2017 THE AI1 How the AI 100 companies were selected It is a purely data-driven/algorithmic process that uses CB Insights data. Weve gathered this data via our machine learning technology (dubbed The Cruncher) as well as via several thousand direct submissions from firms and individual professionals using The Editor. The Company Mosaic page walks through the factors considered in the algorithm in some detail but at a high level, it considers several factors including: Momentum Considers non-traditional signals including news mentions, sentiment, jobs data/hiring, social media, web traffic and usage, partnerships, and more. Market Quantifies the health of the sector and industry the company is involved in, including funding, deals, exit activity, and hiring. Money Assesses financial signals including funding recency and total raised. Investor quality Weighs the quality of the investors participating in deals to the company, judging investors based on exits, returns, and portfolio quality.2 Affectiva affectiva Affectiva, an MIT Media Lab spin-off, is the pioneer in Emotion AI, the next frontier of artificial intelligence.

Its impossible for humans alone to process all of the information potentially available to advance scientific research - a new scientific paper is published every 30 seconds, there are 10,000 updates to PubMed every day. Consequently, only a small fraction of globally generated scientific information can form useable knowledge. BenevolentAI applies AI and deep learning techniques to enable the analysis of vast quantities of complex scientific information. The Company is changing the way knowledge is created by producing an enormous structured, curated and qualified proprietary data lake of dynamic usable knowledge that can be applied for real world use in conjunction with human experts. The Companys first application of AI was in bioscience to accelerate drug discovery. BenevolentAI is now expanding into other large global scientific industries such a veterinary medicine, aggrotech, nutraceuticals and materials science.
