🧠 Industry Insights

The Stampede of Struggling AI Unicorns

  • Many venture-backed companies touting AI have struggled recently, especially those that went public during the 2021 SPAC boom. For example: Babylon Health, BuzzFeed, Metromile, AppHarvest, Embark Trucks, and Berkshire Grey.

  • Babylon Health, once valued at over $2 billion, filed for bankruptcy last month despite emphasizing its AI capabilities.

  • Embark Trucks, which used AI for self-driving trucks, saw its valuation crash from over $5 billion to near zero. It is now winding down operations.

  • Other formerly high-flying AI unicorns like BuzzFeed and Metromile are trading at all-time lows despite their AI focus.

  • The article doesn't mean AI investment won't pay off, just that some startups will fail in any tech cycle.

🎥 Creator Highlight: Checkpoint

Blurring the lines between human and artificial intelligence, Checkpoint is a thought-provoking documentary short that credits ChatGPT and several image generators as collaborators. Created by filmmakers Áron Filkey and Vox’s Joss Fong, this film seamlessly combines AI-generated assets with informative storytelling. Checkpoint provides insightful yet accessible explanations of complex machine learning concepts like diffusion models.

Highlighting my new favorite quote from Chris Anderson, “Every abundance, creates a new scarcity,“ this film is more than just an innovative technical exercise, but a true exploration of the profound questions about creativity, authorship, and the future relationship between humans and AI. It inspires viewers to think deeply about how artificial intelligence might enhance and extend human capabilities.
