When we <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=44587\">last looked in March<\/a>, venture funding for artificial intelligence start-ups showed a glimmer of hope as investment dollars turned up in the fourth quarter of 2022. Those hopes are now all but dashed as a new report from technology intelligence company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbinsights.com\/research\/report\/ai-trends-q1-2023\/\">CB Insights<\/a> (subscription required) indicates a sharp downturn in venture funds for this sector.<\/p>\n<p>The report shows global investment dollars for A.I. start-ups fell from $9.5 billion in Q4 2022 to $5.4 billion in the first three months of 2023, a 43 percent decline. In addition, the number of venture transactions fell from 622 to 554 in Q1 2023, a drop of 11 percent from the previous quarter. Both the total investment dollars and number of venture deals in Q1 2023 are the lowest single quarter totals since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., total venture dollars for A.I. start-ups reflected the worldwide totals for Q1 2023, falling 27 percent to $3.7 billion from $5.1 billion in Q4 2022. The only sprinkling of sugar on this otherwise sour report is an uptick in investment dollars for A.I. in Silicon Valley, which rose to $2.4 billion in Q1, from $1.7 billion in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, mergers and acquisitions of A.I. start-ups also rose to 75 in the first quarter of 2023, continuing an upward trend from 45 in the third quarter of 2022. However, A.I. start-ups going public almost disappeared in Q1, with only two IPOs and no SPAC mergers at all.<\/p>\n<p>More from Science &amp; Enterprise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=44674\">Infographic \u2013 Q1 2023 Venture Funds Hunker Down<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=44670\">Health, Tech Venture Investor Adds $850M Fund<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=44612\">Infographic \u2013 Six Generative A.I.
