Moreover, CoinTelegraph reported that the new fund also follows the company’s participation in a $235 million Series D funding round for Hugging Face generative AI firm in August.

This funding is dedicated to enterprise AI and the company will distribute the investments to different types of startups working on the advancement of generative AI tech.

"AI is slated to unlock nearly $16 trillion in productivity by 2030. With the launch of the IBM Enterprise AI Venture Fund, we're opening another channel to harness the enormous potential of the AI revolution into tangible, positive outcomes for IBM and the companies we invest in," IBM’s senior vice president, software and chief commercial officer, Rob Thomas, said in a press release. "This fund is yet another way we're doubling down on our commitment to responsible AI innovation through Watsonx and helping organizations put this transformational technology to work."
