Swift Ventures has unveiled a new artificial intelligence company index that identifies public companies making genuine investments in AI technology.
The index tracks approximately 90 companies and uses metrics such as investment in AI research, AI talent density, and revenue derived from AI operations to evaluate companies.
The index shows a correlation between research investment and profitability, with companies contributing to AI research and open-source models showing higher profitability.
The index reveals a talent gap in public markets, with only a small number of companies having a significant percentage of their workforce in AI-specific roles.
