Many companies are in the AI infrastructure buildout phase right now.
That's because, in order to enable AI applications, companies have to make the switch from "general purpose computing to accelerated computing," she said.
"You can't run AI on traditional compute, it would be prohibitively expensive, and far too energy intensive," said Pleydell-Bouverie.
That's a 35% increase from last year, she said, and all this incremental investment is being directed to AI initiatives.
And the world is "only in the first five minutes of this AI infrastructure buildout," she added.
