invested in Thrive AI Health, a company that looks to use AI to support health coaching to help manage chronic diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"startup_funds_key_investments_in_healthcare\">Startup Fund&#8217;s Key Investments in Healthcare<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arguably the OpenAI Startup Fund&#8217;s most significant investment area has been in healthcare. The fund has notably invested in Thrive AI Health and Ambience Healthcare, while OpenAI itself has established partnerships independently with <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/oscar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oscar Health<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/moderna\/\" target=\"_blank\">Moderna<\/a>, and other entities who&#8217;ve integrated its models via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/24407\/application-programming-interface-api\">application programming interfaces<\/a> (APIs).<\/p>\n<p>These investments make sense when we consider the amount of money at stake in the healthcare market. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortunebusinessinsights.com\/industry-reports\/artificial-intelligence-in-healthcare-market-100534\" target=\"_blank\">Fortune Business Insights<\/a> the AI in healthcare market will grow from $27.69 billion in 2024 to $490.96 billion by 2032, growing at a massive compound annual growth rate of 43.2%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Randall, director of AI market research at Info-Tech Research Group<\/strong>, told Techopedia:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From what we&#8217;ve seen so far, OpenAI has invested in specific industries for healthcare and legal technologies. Healthcare is an interesting area for investment, given the sheer amount of data available to leverage for potential monetisation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When anonymised and aggregated, this data might be used to provide insights that can be shared with pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, or other stakeholders in the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Moreover, accumulating vast amounts of healthcare data assists in creating more powerful AI models, which can be extended beyond healthcare (e.g., food and beverage, sports and entertainment, and so on).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI&#8217;s investment in Ambience Healthcare suggests that healthcare assistants are going to be an important solution category going forward both for patients and doctors.<\/p>\n<p>Patients will be able to check symptoms and receive guidance on treatment while doctors will be able to automate the creation of documentation and medical notes.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, AI also offers the potential to help discover new drugs and discover treatments to save lives. For instance, Moderna is experimenting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/34933\/chatgpt\">ChatGPT<\/a> to process clinical data to identify the optimal vaccine dosage for patients.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"key_investments_in_robotics\">Key Investments in Robotics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another industry that OpenAI has been investing heavily in is robotics, backing humanoid robotics providers including 1X and Figure. Like healthcare, the robotics industry has the potential to experience monumental growth.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.precedenceresearch.com\/artificial-intelligence-robots-market\" target=\"_blank\">Precedence Research<\/a> estimates that the global AI robots market will grow from $14.30 billion in 2023 to $82.47 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 21.50%.<\/p>\n<p>AI has the potential to enable the development of robotics, contributing to areas like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/32309\/computer-vision\">computer vision<\/a>, which helps robots to perceive their environment. It is also a fundamental technology in replicating movement and autonomous thinking.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that both 1X and Figure are competing against several robotics providers, including Tesla, which has drawn considerable attention with its early prototypes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/tesla-optimus-gen-2-joins-the-world-of-ai-robots\">Optimus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"key_investments_in_education\">Key Investments in Education<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, education has been another core focus area for OpenAI&#8217;s investments. We have Class Companion, an AI teaching assistant with real-time feedback, and Speak, an AI tutor that helps user&#8217;s learn English.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, this market is expected to experience serious growth. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliedmarketresearch.com\/artificial-intelligence-in-education-sector-market\" target=\"_blank\">Allied Market Research<\/a> values the global AI in education market at $2.5 billion in 2022 and anticipates it will reach $88.2 billion by 2032. The industry has a compound annual growth rate of 43.3%.<\/p>\n<p>AI is a real force multiplier for the education industry because it provides learners and students with a virtual resource that they can call on 24\/7 to learn new skills and concepts.<\/p>\n<p>As Yamin said &#8220;In education, AI-driven tools can enhance learning experiences and accessibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AI development is moving fast, and investing in the right industry provides a pathway to significant growth. OpenAI&#8217;s strategic investments in healthcare, robotics, and education show that these are going to be key development areas in the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"reference-content\">\n<div class=\"reference-heading reference-content-collapsible-heading\">\n<h2><span id=\"references\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reference-content-body\">\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/sam-altman-openai-fund-1851380019\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Altman removed as owner of OpenAI Startup Fund<\/a> (Qz)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.openai.fund\/about\" target=\"_blank\">About \u00b7 OpenAI Startup Fund<\/a> (Openai)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.descript.com\/blog\/article\/all-new-descript-backed-by-openai-startup-fund\" target=\"_blank\">It&#8217;s here: the all-new Descript, backed by OpenAI Startup Fund<\/a> (Descript)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/11\/10\/ai-powered-note-taking-app-mem-raises-23-5m-openai\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>OpenAI leads $23.5M round in Mem, an AI-powered note-taking app<\/span><\/a> (Techcrunch)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speak.com\/blog\/speak-announces-27m-series-b-led-by-openai-startup-fund\" target=\"_blank\">Speak Announces $27M Series B Led by OpenAI Startup Fund<\/a> (Speak)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvey.ai\/blog\/series-b\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Harvey raises $80M Series B from Elad Gil, Kleiner Perkins, OpenAI and Sequoia<\/span><\/a> (Harvey)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/02\/06\/ambience-healthcare-raises-70m-for-its-ai-assistant-led-by-openai-and-kleiner-perkins\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Ambience Healthcare raises $70M for its AI assistant led by OpenAI and Kleiner Perkins<\/span><\/a> (Techcrunch)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/02\/29\/robot-startup-figure-valued-at-2point6-billion-by-bezos-amazon-nvidia.html\" target=\"_blank\">Robot startup Figure valued at $2.6 billion by Bezos, OpenAI, Nvidia<\/a> (Cnbc)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kudoai.com\/kudoai-receives-98-000-grant-from-microsoft-to-bring-ai-to-the-masses-cb87331c7965\" target=\"_blank\">KudoAI Receives Grant Funding worth $98,000 from partners including Microsoft, OpenAI | by Adam Lui | KudoAI<\/a> (Blog.kudoai)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/10\/11\/anysphere-raises-8m-from-openai-to-build-an-ai-powered-ide\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Anysphere raises $8M from OpenAI to build an AI-powered IDE<\/span><\/a> (Techcrunch)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maginative.com\/article\/class-companion-secures-4m-to-put-ai-to-work-for-teachers-and-students\/\" target=\"_blank\">Class Companion Secures $4M to Put AI to Work for Teachers and Students<\/a> (Maginative)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/11\/09\/ghost-now-openai-backed-claims-llms-will-overcome-self-driving-setbacks-but-experts-are-skeptical\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Ghost, now OpenAI-backed, claims LLMs will overcome self-driving setbacks \u2014 but experts are skeptical<\/span><\/a> (Techcrunch)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/1xtech.medium.com\/1x-raises-23-5m-in-series-a2-funding-led-by-openai-6040af4f3f4f\" target=\"_blank\">1X Raises $23.5M in Series A2 Funding led by OpenAI | by 1X | Medium<\/a> (1xtech.medium)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiercehealthcare.com\/ai-and-machine-learning\/openai-startup-fund-arianna-huffington-back-new-ai-health-coach-venture\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAI&#8217;s VC arm, Thrive Global fund new AI health coach startup<\/a> (Fiercehealthcare)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/oscar\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Reducing health insurance costs and improving care<\/span><\/a> (Openai)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/moderna\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Accelerating the development of life-saving treatments<\/span><\/a> (Openai)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortunebusinessinsights.com\/industry-reports\/artificial-intelligence-in-healthcare-market-100534\" target=\"_blank\">Artificial Intelligence [AI] in Healthcare Market Size | Share, 2032<\/a> (Fortunebusinessinsights)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.precedenceresearch.com\/artificial-intelligence-robots-market\" target=\"_blank\">Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robots Market Size, Report 2032<\/a> (Precedenceresearch)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliedmarketresearch.com\/artificial-intelligence-in-education-sector-market\" target=\"_blank\">Artificial Intelligence In Education Market Size, Forecast &#8211; 2032<\/a> (Alliedmarketresearch)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to know what industries AI is going to shake up, funding is a good place to start.
