CB Insights has unveiled the winners of the sixth annual AI 100 — a list of the 100 most promising private AI companies across the globe. Regrow Ag is excited to see ourselves among the winners!
Some of this year’s winners are advancing the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) across specific industries — such as healthcare, gaming, and agriculture. With the agriculture category represented only by two companies in this year's awards, we are honored to be selected and to see the growth of this category next year!
Additionally, a sizable portion of the companies in this cohort are developing tools, like machine learning (ML) platforms, to support AI development.
