Analysts estimate that spending in AI currently stands at approximately [$30 billion]( https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/Industries/Advanced%20Electronics/Our%20Insights/How%20artificial%20intelligence%20can%20deliver%20real%20value%20to%20companies/MGI-Artificial-Intelligence-Discussion-paper.ashx). Forbes reports that this figure could be up by 60% in just a couple years. The market potential in the artificial intelligence industry is continuously growing. 

Over the past few decades, technology has become increasingly integrated into the world of commerce. The technology driving the operations in industries continuously needs to become more efficient, and the next bound is artificial intelligence. 

So, it’s no surprise that smart money is headed towards AI.

Major tech firms are pouring tens of billions into AI research. Moreover, Wall Street has created dedicated ETFs. BOTZ is a NASDAQ-listed exchange traded fund for investments in AI; it’s up nearly a third just in the past 365 days. Wall Street is making big money through investments in AI market. But the opportunity to enter into investment opportunities in AI during the seed stages are extremely exclusive; most of us do not have a high net-worth individual status to get access to exclusive investment rounds. 

However, ICOs exist democratize investment opportunities into start-ups. And a current ICO is offering an opportunity to invest in a project that combines the two major technologies of today: blockchain and artificial intelligence. 

<center><h1>[Nebula AI](https://www.nebula-ai.com/) Could be an Opportunity</h1></center>
I’ve made an extensive analysis on the short-term returns on over [200 ICOs in the past 6 months]( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m6K4-9wI_Cqq3tWRtmzuotBatIDgIXqOqN049gZFQVw/edit#gid=0). The average performance of the mid-50% blockchain projects stands at 3.3x and for AI projects stands at 2.1x. These numbers show a powerful return on investment (during ICO) despite the market facing a severe bearish trend.

Nebula AI hits both these sectors; it is a blockchain that allows GPU miners to sell their computing power to AI developers; in return, these developers can utilize the platform to provide AI applications to enterprises. 

<center><h1>Comparisons</h1></center>
There’s a lot of potential in the AI market. As most major institutions in various industries tend to focus on their own competitive edge, they outsource their needs of AI solutions. This gives way for start-ups to capitalize on a massive market. 

The company closest to Nebula AI would be Hortonworks, which provides a decentralized solution for storage of data used for improved machine learning (a branch of AI). In just a couple years, this company has sustained a $1.5 billion market cap. Nebula AI is providing decentralized computing power via its platform, and it shows that a decentralized solution for providing resources to develop AI advancement is a tested business that has already succeed in the market. 

In respect to short-term returns, [Nebula AI](https://www.nebula-ai.com/) is targeting markets that have shown a significantly strong post-ICO return, even in this market. As for long-term returns, plenty of start-ups that have been around for a few years have proven the massive potential in this market.
