Artificial intelligence firms have drawn more than 50% of total venture funding in 2025, accumulating $130 billion year-to-date across major economies.

Despite valuation caution, investor appetite remains strong given expanding use cases. Experts project continued dominance of AI ventures in global capital allocation as private equity adapts to technology-led innovation cycles.
