Investing in more than 30 AI companies in one year Hong Tai believes that AI entrepreneurship has these three trends

In 2018, what we can obviously feel is that we no longer talk too much about AI concepts and technologies. Instead, we focus more on the combination and landing of AI and industry. This is also the industry attention focus since the second half of 2017.

On April 27th, Hongtai Fund organized a small media communication meeting around the layout of the AI in the past two years to discuss new ideas and new changes in investment strategy after AI entered the new stage.

In the past two years, Hongtai Fund has invested in more than 30 AI companies, focusing on the application of finance and advertising, and laying out all aspects of the AI industry chain. Executive director of Hongtai Fund Lai Yunqi shared Hongtai’s investment logic in the early stage. She talked about the improvement of the computational power will emerge new production tools, and the promotion of productivity. Hongtai firstly invested in the underlying algorithms of computational algorithms, such as on chips.

After laying out the bottom layer of acoustics, vision, and computing power, Hong Tai laid out the AI industry application. In terms of industrial applications, it mainly focused on voice, semantics, and vision in the financial, advertising, medical, and logistics industries. 

However, at this moment, Hongtai Fund believes that with the development and changes in the AI industry, AI investment will show the following three trends:

1, The transformation of pure technology entrepreneurship into the depth of the industry, AI is the infrastructure, and this industry will gradually disappear. Single-point technology to multi-mode fusion, scene-driven.

2, Beyond the To B application, To C's application plan will gradually appear this year, such as entertainment.

3. In the founding team's founder role, it will be the product managers or entrepreneurs who have a deep understanding of the industry.
