SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 11, 2017) - CB Insights today selected InsideSales.com to the prestigious Artificial Intelligence 100 list ("AI 100"), a select group of emerging private companies working on ground breaking artificial intelligence technology. CB Insights CEO and co-founder, Anand Sanwal, revealed the winners during The Innovation Summit, a gathering of top executives and investors to explore the industries of the future.
"It's an honor to be recognized for our pioneering work in artificial intelligence," said Dave Elkington, CEO and founder of InsideSales. "This award is a testament to not only the growing enthusiasm around AI in the workplace, but to the power of our predictive technology to transform entire industries -- starting with the sales industry -- through the application of proven data science."
Companies such as Affectiva, Blue River Technology, Deep Instinct, Sentient Technologies and Orbital Insight joined InsideSales in being recognized for their amazing teams, technology, and traction in front of an audience of 400 senior executives from around the world.
The CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 winners based on a combination of data submitted by the companies, responses to interview questions and the company's Mosaic Score. Mosaic is an algorithm built with funding from the National Science Foundation that gives predictive intelligence into the health of private companies.
"From financial services to healthcare to transport, incumbent companies in every industry are seeing that AI will reshape their industries. And as so often happens, transformational innovation comes from emerging companies. In the case of AI, a lot of the groundbreaking work is being done by the AI 100. The companies in the AI 100 are accelerating research, improving efficiency, and making many game-changing advancements that will be felt for decades to come," CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal said.
