Welcome to our weekly edition of AI & Finance™!
Hello, friends, we feel like the second full week of the second half of 2025 brought some return to form for AI & Finance news after a bit of a mid-year break around the 4th of July. The dip in activity was apparently due to the holiday, not a larger or longer-term economic trend (this time). Our best guess is that AI news in general will continue to be active-and fascinating-for a long time after the economy takes a turn for the worse and the inevitable chill descends over venture capital activity. We have plenty of evidence of AI's staying power for you in this week's newsletter, starting with a full and diverse list of financial artificial intelligence headlines, a quick explainer on what Databricks is and does, rebounding momentum in venture capital funding, and big funding news from the White House linking the future of U.S. AI development to the existing traditional energy infrastructure and industry...

The key point being that there are... CONTINUE HERE

Welcome again, friends. Discussing foundational artificial intelligence topics, which we spend a lot of time and space on in AI Education, can quickly go off the theoretical rails, so every so often we try to return to a more tangible, real-world subject, and thus, this week we're going to talk about Databricks, a cloud-based data engineering and data intelligence powerhouse that seems to be everywhere these days. Put succinctly, San Francisco-based Databricks has become not just part of the AI infrastructure available to businesses and institutions, it has also become a provider of AI services. We should start, however, with a foundational topic... CONTINUE HERE
AI venture capital funding is picking back up after a brief slowdown, with two deals this week exceeding the $100 million threshold. The top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came Cambridge, Mass.-based healthcare AI provider OpenEvidence, which raised a $210 million Series B in part to "expand strategic content partnerships that enhance its library of advanced medical knowledge," according to its announcement. OpenEvidence is a clinical decision support platform for health professionals. The next biggest announcement came from the artificial superintelligence space, where Palo Alto, Calif.-based Harmonic raised a $100 million Series B. The top five also included companies in the AI platform, computer... CONTINUE HERE
