Elevate your LinkedIn presence with Taplio

🗞️ The Latest in AI: Salesforce doubles investment in generative AI startups

On Monday Salesforce doubled its venture capital fund for generative AI startups to $500 million, in addition to unveiling an AI Cloud service that offers the company’s AI-powered products in a single place.

Salesforce, a cloud-based software company headquartered in San Francisco, is the global leader in customer relationship management software and applications focused on sales.

Its new AI Cloud will most notably include the messaging app Slack and data analysis software Tableau. The starter pack will be available for $360,000 annually.

AI Cloud will also host large-language models (LLMs) from providers like Amazon Web Services, Anthropic and Cohere. Salesforce plans to ensure data privacy by helping prevent the LLMs from retaining sensitive customer information.

This move accentuates the company’s push to incorporate generative AI into its tools. In March, it launched Einstein GPT, the world’s first generative AI CRM technology, and announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the collaboration software Slack.
