Last year, AI and machine learning startups raked in about half of
all VC funding in North America. And so far this year, AI is still
leading the pack. But a huge chunk of the money in the Q1 — $40
billion — went to one player: OpenAI. So is there still room for
smaller, more focused startups in the AI gold rush? Or will it be a
case of “winner takes all?” In this live conversation at the Johns
Hopkins University Bloomberg Center's inaugural Discovery Series,
Kara speaks with Gary Rivlin, author of “AI Valley: Microsoft,
Google and the Trillion-Dollar Race to Cash In on Artificial
Intelligence,” and Christy Wyskiel, senior advisor to the president
of Johns Hopkins University for innovation and entrepreneurship and
the executive director of Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures. The
three discuss the impact of government cuts on AI research, how
small AI startups can compete with the tech giants, and how AI
could revolutionize health care. This interview was recorded
on April 28, 2025. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com
