AI is the new buzzword in the field of technology, and it has certainly caught the attention of Alexis Ohanian, the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams. Like Ohanian, another world-renowned entrepreneur, the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, is enamored by the power of AI. He has made some of the most resounding acquisitions over the past decade including his multi-million investments in the renowned online platform, Instagram. Apart from the social media platform, the 38-year-old American business magnate also bought the online messenger application giant, WhatsApp in another whopping deal of around $19.6 billion.
Both these acquisitions occurred a few years back when the respective companies had only a few employees managing the entire technical processes and challenges. However, despite that limited workforce, they both have made tremendous progress in the industry with the help of artificial intelligence. Taking note of their success, Alexis Ohanian recently revealed that this type of company building and value creation is about to finally make a comeback.
