[Global Science and Technology Report] According to the US media on July 12, the parent company of Google officially established Gradient Ventures on the 11th to invest in early-stage artificial intelligence startups.
The news released by Google shows that Alphabet is becoming more and more interested in artificial intelligence. Apart from Alphabet, technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft also value this technology. Anna Patterson, founder and managing director of Gradient, also stated that this year the company will participate in 10 to 15 investments and the investment for each transaction will reach 1 million to 8 million US dollars. Patterson worked for about ten years at Google and worked on the development of Android, search, advertising, and artificial intelligence. She said: "If we really want artificial intelligence to grow faster, we need to be more involved in the community. This is why we set up Gradient - to stimulate innovation in the field of artificial intelligence."

But Gradient is more than just a traditional venture capital company. In the area of ​​venture capital, Alphabet already has GVs that support start-ups in all phases and CapitalG, which invests in later-stage companies.
On the one hand, Gradient's investment startups will have access to advanced artificial intelligence training provided by Google. Although the details have not yet been finalized, you can get a Google engineer to provide up to six months of help, or according to the project to extend the time. Currently, startups that have invested in the company include Aurima, Cape, Cogniac, Dyndrite, and Algorithmia, which received financing from Google’s AI Risk Group last month. On the other hand, these Gradient-invested startups also have access to Google’s accumulated data when training their own artificial intelligence systems.
Google is the sole investor of Gradient Corporation. According to the data provided in the project proposal, GV completed 63 transactions last year, and CapitalG completed 6 cases. Although some startups are happy to accept Google's investment, some companies are still worried that they will damage their valuable intellectual property rights.

A manual pulse generator (MPG) is a device normally associated with computer numerically controlled machinery or other devices involved in positioning. It usually consists of a rotating knob that generates electrical pulses that are sent to an equipment controller. The controller will then move the piece of equipment a predetermined distance for each pulse.
