Absolutely there is money out there chasing AI. As a lead investor in http://riya.com (machine vision), http://vast.com (extraction), http://radarnetworks.com (semantic web), and http://abgenial.com, I can tell you AI is a bit, important theme for this VC. But not room cleaning robots, thank you.

Folks, there are A LOT of people in Silicon Valley working on AI, as I have discovered in private conversations after this post. This is going to get very interesting. And yes Ian, there is funding out there.

What does this mean in terms of funding opportunities? Is there money now actively chasing "game changing" services enabled by advanced AI technologies?

Renaissance men would like to hear that.

House cleaning robots, web search engines, audio search engines, self driving cars, even self parking cars (Japanese Prius) - AI is on a roll, though it's no longer hyped up much. "Neuro-fuzzy" is no longer the buzzword for selling washing machines! :)
Ofcourse while we are at it, there's the visual equivalents of Tellme, http://www.riya.com and http://www.nthrum.com
