Crowd Media Holdings (ASX: CM8) has bedded down its investment in artificial intelligence developer Aflorithmic Labs.
Under a deal announced late last month, Crowd has scooped up a 10% stake in Aflorithmic Labs by investing $1.773 million into the entity. In return, Aflorithmic will secure a 1.3% interest in Crowd, which is still subject to shareholder approval next month.

Crowd will also work these technologies in with video technology from another partner VRF Assets and Holdings.

China shares eked out gains on Tuesday, as optimism on economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic prompted fresh buying in financials and cyclical stocks, while worries over policy tightening continued to weigh on sectors with lofty valuations.
The CSI300 index edged up 0.1% to 5,603.68 points by the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.3% to 3,654.77 points.
Leading the gains, the CSI300 banks index rose 2.1%, while the CSI300 cyclical industry index added 0.9%.
“The trend of China’s policy tightening is quite evident and definite, though the PBOC would refrain from sudden and fast tightening with an aim to provide stability for the market,” said Zheng Zichun, an analyst with AVIC Securities.
“We now favour cyclical companies, including those in petroleum and chemical, nonferrous metals, digging and financial industries,” he added.
