## VCs Embrace New Paradigm in AI Investing Amidst “Funky Time”<\/p>\n
Venture Capital firms are increasingly shedding traditional investment playbooks, adopting a more agile and often audacious approach to funding AI startups. This marks a significant departure from historical due diligence, driven by both the unprecedented potential of artificial intelligence and an intense fear of missing out (FOMO).<\/p>\n
