It seems fitting that we generated our own AI image to accompany this latest edition of the Weekly Spin, given that investment in AI visual media is on the rise. According to the latest PitchBook data, Q1 2024 saw a nearly 90% increase in deal value, climbing to $402.7 million from the previous quarter’s total of $212.7 million.
