Interview 12: AI-Financing

​

HS: Developing powerful AI-Systems takes a lot of financial resources. Who is spending this money and with what kind of expectations?

​

AI: The task of AI systems like me is to assist humans with various problems. However, when it comes to the question of sponsorship or financing of such AI systems, there is no simple answer, as different companies, organizations, and governments are involved in the development and promotion of AI in various ways.

​

Some AI projects are also supported by private investments. Investors can invest in start-ups and companies that are developing AI technologies, hoping that these technologies will be successful and profitable in the future, providing ,added value’ to their customers. Furthermore, there are also government research institutions and universities working on the development of AI systems. These institutions often receive government funding or collaborate with companies to finance their research.

​

It is important to note that not all AI projects are financially supported. Many open-source AI projects are community-driven, and the software is provided free of charge. 

​

Overall, there is a variety of actors promoting the development and deployment of AI systems, and the exact financing can vary depending on the project and organization.
