The artificial intelligence market is experiencing a significant surge, with global AI investment in 2024 already exceeding the total funding from 2023, reaching $55.3 billion by Q3. This figure indicates a $1.2 billion increase compared to last year and suggests a potential to surpass the 2022 total of $59.9 billion.

The number of deals in the AI sector also reflects this robust investment climate, with 1,245 deals recorded between July and September, marking a 23% increase from the same period in 2023. Notably, many of these transactions are mega-rounds, with significant funding amounts of at least $100 million. Major players like Elon Musk's xAI and Sam Altman's OpenAI have secured substantial funding, highlighting the trend of venture capitalists focusing on established leaders in the AI space.
