According to @nbt, emerging AI startups are facing significant challenges as they attempt to establish scalable product viability and market fit while competing against mega-cap tech names such as IBM and Honeywell, both of which command far larger R&D budgets and resources (source: @nbt Twitter). This landscape increases pressure on smaller firms with only a few hundred million dollars in funding and a comparatively small R&D team. For crypto traders, the dominance of established tech giants in AI may slow the pace of AI-driven blockchain innovation, potentially affecting the flow of capital and partnership opportunities in the AI-crypto sector (source: @nbt Twitter).
