The Forbes AI 50 list is open to global companies that are held privately and are more than 50% independent. Judges of the annual list filter through thousands of applications to determine the top startups that are candidly applying AI to solve business problems across various industries. This year saw 1,900 submissions.
To determine which companies were recognized on the AI 50 list, Forbes worked in partnership with Sequoia Capital and Meritech Capital to evaluate applicants using both quantitative and qualitative information including revenue, business growth, and valuation. Two panels of independent judges — one with academic or professional expertise in AI, and the other with long-standing investing experience in the field — audited the strongest applicants on criteria including business promise and innovative use of AI.
