AI 50 showcases startups developing the most promising business applications of artificial intelligence — companies with compelling visions and the resources and technical wherewithal to achieve them.

Creation of the annual list begins with an open call for nominations and, with the help of data partner Meritech Capital, outreach to hundreds of possible contenders. Companies do not pay a fee for consideration. Rather, applicants share both qualitative information — such as business models, technical talent and how they’re building and using AI-enabled technology — and quantitative figures such as fundraising, valuation and revenue history. Applicants have the option to submit certain data confidentially. Forbes encourages companies to submit diversity data, though this component is optional. For companies which did not apply to the list but obviously merit inclusion, we evaluate publicly available information — data from sources including PitchBook, Crunchbase, and LinkedIn.
