AI in Visual Arts and the Media: 11 startups join the Machine Intelligence Garage creative cohort

We are excited to have been selected to be part of Digital Catapult Machine Intelligence Garage’s first ever creative cohort. This cohort of 11 exciting startups is built around the novel use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the creative industries.

We are looking forward to working with a number of Machine Intelligence Garage's partners during the course of the scheme to help us to build and scale intuitive music search and metadata experiences with Figaro.

"Having made three decades of BBC Northern Ireland content available to UK audiences with the launch of the Rewind website in October 2020, we are delighted to collaborate with Digital Catapult's Machine Intelligence Garage to share our experiences and discuss the opportunities and challenges archive content presents to the AI sector." said Helen Toland - Editor, Rewind (BBC Northern Ireland).

Machine Intelligence Garage cohort companies have raised equity investment after working with Digital Catapult of around £29 million, and the programme has enabled companies such as Techspert.io, that recently received over £3.7 million in Series A funding after meeting Nauta Capital at the annual Investor Showcase.
