The 2023 MAD (Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence & Data) Landscape

The 2023 MAD Landscape is the ninth annual "state of the union" of the data and AI ecosystem, organized into four parts: The Landscape, Market Trends, Data Infrastructure Trends, and ML/AI Trends.

The Landscape section presents a comprehensive overview of the data, ML, and AI industry, with 1,416 logos appearing on the landscape. This year, there is a more editorial approach to which companies are featured, with more very young startups being included. The landscape is organized based on the flow of data, from storing and processing to analyzing to feeding ML/AI models and building user-facing, AI-driven, or data-driven applications.

The categories include open source, data infrastructure, analytics, ML/AI, and applications. The Landscape has undergone some changes this year, including the addition of new subcategories in data infrastructure, analytics, and ML/AI, and the removal of some boxes to make room for new ones.
