InstaDeep will use the funding to develop
its infrastructure, hire experts and speed up launching AI projects in
"biotech, logistics, transportation and electronics manufacturing",
it said in a statement.
AI is a branch of computing that builds
machines capable of tasks that would normally need human-like intelligence, in
everything from virology to transport.
InstaDeep said it had worked with German
pharma firm
BioNTech to create an immunotherapy lab making use of AI, as well
as an AI-powered early warning system for detecting high-risk coronavirus
variants.
The firm has also applied AI to complex
train scheduling challenges for German railway firm Deutsche Bahn.
InstaDeep chief Karim Beguir said the firm
saw "wide-ranging opportunities to deploy our AI products to tackle
complex real-world problems".
According to US news channel
CNBC, a survey
of technology executives found that 81 percent believed artificial intelligence
would be very or critically important to their companies in 2022.
