Our Top 5 VC Deals of the Week in AI featured funding announcements from Unify, RealSense, Moonvalley, Harmonic and OpenEvidence

This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.

AI venture capital funding is picking back up after a brief respit, with two deals this week exceeding the $100 million threshold.

The top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came Cambridge, Mass.-based healthcare AI provider OpenEvidence, which raised a $210 million Series B in part to "expand strategic content partnerships that enhance its library of advanced medical knowledge," according to its announcement. OpenEvidence is a clinical decision support platform for health professionals. The next biggest announcement came from the artificial superintelligence space, where Palo Alto, Calif.-based Harmonic raised a $100 million Series B. The top five also included companies in the AI platform, computer vision and video sectors.

Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the robotics, autonomous driving and fintech spaces.
