Chart of the Week: Venture capital for AI
According to a new Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report, global venture capital (VC) investments in AI firms accounted for 61% in 2025—double what it was in 2022 and highlighting the massive bet being placed on AI as a source of economic growth. Even if this level of VC investment is not sustained (the OECD notes the cyclical nature of investment markets), expectations are high that it will pay off. U.S. firms attracted the bulk of the investment at about 75% of global AI VC deal value, followed by the EU27 (6%), China (5%), and the United Kingdom (5%). Canadian companies attracted about 1%.
