Two AI announcements worth noting from the end of last week. Comet Labs’s announced a partnership with Baidu Ventures and Gigaom will start offering AI-related consulting services.

Let’s see how either could affect you.

Comet Labs, an AI-focused VC firm and research lab that prides itself on offering services to startups “they can’t buy with money.” Basically, they can now offer startups access to Chinese partners and reduce the nightmare for startups working with manufacturers there. Baidu Ventures gets better access to the US startup market.

Gigaom will be approaching the market from a different angle. Most companies are aware that “AI will transform everything–every business, every department, every job, everything,” but few people can tell you what AI or machine learning actually is or does. That’s where Gigaom will step in, with their plans to strategize, implement, build, and rollout AI projects alongside their clients.
