Silicon Valley is glutted with everything that the most popular form of modern AI, called deep learning, needs to be successful: massive stockpiles of private user data and a battery of high-powered servers.

The next wave of AI, however, may look quite different. A number of startups are now thinking about ways to minimize the amount of training—and thus, the amount of data and server power—needed for AI. Samsung Next, the South Korean technology company’s VC arm, is pushing this trend forward with the launch of a venture team called Q Fund. The team appears to be looking for companies that focus less on specific applications of AI (say, farming or algorithmic trading) and more on developing new ways of making decisions with computers.
