Visa Initiative to Invest $100 Million in Generative AI Ventures
In a move set to reshape the landscape of commerce and payments, Visa has declared its intention to invest $100 million in companies at the forefront of developing generative AI technologies.
The investment initiative will be executed through Visa Ventures, the global corporate investment arm with a history spanning 16 years. Visa, a trailblazer in AI applications for payments since 1993, is now focusing its attention on the burgeoning field of generative AI. This subset of artificial intelligence is characterized by its ability to generate text, images, or other content based on extensive datasets and textual prompts.
