Liang told Business Insider he expects 90% of AI computing workloads will be in inference in the not-too-distant future. AdvertisementThat's why several startups are charging aggressively into the inference market — emphasizing where they might outperform the goliath in the space. Speed is an important factor when multiple AI models talk to each other and waiting for an answer can dampen the magic of generative AI. The number of tokens per second that can be consumed (when a prompt goes in) and generated (when a response comes out) is a common metric for AI computing speed. AdvertisementCerebras's AI chip is roughly size of a dinner plate.

The last major semiconductor shortage happened during the Covid-19 pandemic amid supply chain disruption and a rise in demand for consumer electronics as people were forced to stay and work at home. These are often referred to as AI-enabled devices and companies from Samsung to Microsoft have released such products. Bain said demand for GPUs and AI consumer electronics could be the cause of a chip shortage. Bain & Company noted that the semiconductor supply chain is "incredibly complex, and a demand increase of about 20% or more has a high likelihood of upsetting the equilibrium and causing a chip shortage." "The AI explosion across the confluence of the large end markets could easily surpass that threshold, creating vulnerable chokepoints throughout the supply chain," the report added.

Read previewIn a Monday blog post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued that massive investment in AI infrastructure is key to market dominance — and avoiding global conflict. "If we don't build enough infrastructure, AI will be a very limited resource that wars get fought over, and that becomes mostly a tool for rich people." Representatives for OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. He noted that data centers consume tons of water for their cooling systems — some of which evaporates, so it cannot be reused. "Any human endeavor that involves an optimization challenge can be made more efficient through artificial intelligence," Coglianese said.

OpenAI said Tuesday that its popular chatbot now has an advanced voice feature for people who pay for the premium service. Legal counsel working on behalf of Johansson sent OpenAI letters claiming the company didn't have the right to use the near-identical voice, and OpenAI paused using it in its products, CNBC reported. OpenAI got a head start in the generative AI chatbot market, when it launched ChatGPT in late 2022. The advanced mode is only available to those with subscriptions to OpenAI's Plus, Team or Enterprise plans. The most affordable option is the Plus tier at $20 per month.

Some Wall Street analysts and money managers see a path to monetization ahead for Apple 's latest artificial intelligence features despite some near-term rollout headwinds. Earlier this month, the technology behemoth debuted its iPhone 16 , incorporating its new AI features known as Apple Intelligence. While including Apple Intelligence as a paid tool may not be on investors' radar, some see a strong case for a future added cost down the road. AAPL YTD mountain Apple shares in 2024 The setup with Apple Intelligence could resemble the company's Apple TV debut, notes CFRA Research analyst Angelo Zino. The portfolio manager also sees an avenue for third-party developers to draw on Apple's AI features to improve their offering.

Sovereign wealth funds out of the Middle East are emerging as key backers of Silicon Valley's artificial intelligence darlings. In the past year, funding for AI companies by Middle-Eastern sovereigns has increased fivefold, according to data from Pitchbook. Few venture funds have deep enough pockets to compete with the multibillion-dollar checks coming from the likes of Microsoft and Amazon . MGX was launched as a dedicated AI fund in March, with Abu Dhabi's Mubadala and AI firm G42 as founding partners. For the U.S., having sovereign wealth funds invest in American companies, and not in global adversaries like China, has been a geopolitical priority.
