Artificial intelligence is presently the most disruptive technology. From identifying our faces to recommending the best products, artificial intelligence is everywhere. This technology is also becoming a great source for top AI startups to achieve their bottom-line growth. Most promising AI startups are garnering the attention of numerous investors across the world. AI technology startups are attracting the attention of multiple investors across the globe, and particularly so in the US and China. In the very best-funded and most promising independent startups, most AI companies hail either from the US or China, with a few more countries represented. In both of these key countries, the benefits of AI are clear in a number of industries, but the focus of each country seems to be slightly different. The boom in the AI industry has led to massive growth in AI companies. Heavy funding from leading tech-based investment funds have helped many companies gain unicorn status. These top AI unicorns are giving tough competition to well-established companies. It is interesting to know that the best AI unicorns have come up majorly in the field of big data analytics, autonomous driving, facial recognition, etc. The number of successful companies in the Artificial Intelligence industry, worth more than US$1 billion are really hard to ignore. Particularly, when a lot of these companies were founded only within the last 5 years or so. The success of these AI Unicorns has garnered much attention, and hence in this article, we collate the list of top 100 AI unicorns and their success stories.
