Artificial intelligence is on everyone’s mind. 

And with good reason. We are currently in an AI technology innovation wave similar to the dawn of the consumer internet, the advent of mobile technology, and the rise of cloud computing. New businesses are emerging to provide AI models, developer tools to build them, and infrastructure to host them. Existing products and services will be enhanced by AI capabilities, while entirely new offerings will upset incumbents with AI as a key competitive advantage. 

At the same time, we also recognize that we are at the peak of a hype cycle—a moment that inflates valuations and calls for caution when it comes to investing in this market. 

At M13, we value clear-eyed evaluation of the emerging technologies reshaping the future of work, money, health and commerce. Below, dive into some of the key subjects we talk about when we talk about AI.
