The AI funding race is exploding. The question is: who’s investing as seriously in their data? This week on Diffusion, Daniel Navas Kuiper, CFO & COO at Defined.ai, breaks down how voice, video, and capital are reshaping the AI landscape. ✅ Google tests voice cloning inside AI Studio, while Synthesia raises $200M to scale AI video for interactive, human‑sounding training. ✅ OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI line up multi‑billion‑dollar rounds, turning frontier models into an arms race powered by GPUs and data. ✅ Defined.ai closes 2025 with 65% revenue growth and 143% net revenue retention, as demand for compliant, high‑quality datasets continues to rise. The common thread: models are going mainstream, but real differentiation still comes from the data you train them on. ▶️ Hit play to catch the full 3‑minute breakdown. #AIData #GenAI #AIVideo #AITrainingData #Diffusion
