GEN AI: TOO MUCH SPEND, TOO LITTLE BENEFIT? Goldman Sachs warns that despite huge investments in generative AI, companies are yet to demonstrate a killer application. Will the AI bubble burst soon? Tech giants, other companies and utilities are investing an estimated $1 trillion in data centers , GPUs , network expansion and other AI infrastructure in the coming years , writes investment bank Goldman Sachs in a new report . But so far, this spending has yielded little, aside from reports of efficiency gains among developers. "So the key question is: What $1 trillion problem will AI solve?" says Jim Covello, head of research at Goldman Sachs. "Many people try to compare AI today to the early days of the Internet. But even in its early days, the Internet was a low-cost, technological solution that enabled e-commerce to replace costly incumbent solutions." Given the high barrier to entry and the price trend of key components such as GPUs, Costello is skeptical that the cost of AI will ever drop enough to make automating a large portion of tasks affordable. "The market is too optimistic about the likelihood of cost reductions," he says. His colleague Kash Rangan has a longer view: "Every IT cycle follows a process known as IPA - infrastructure first, platforms second, and applications last. The AI cycle is still in the infrastructure build-out phase, so it will take some time to find the killer application, but I believe we will get there."

With all the market, computing and investment power of Big Tech players, does Europe even stand a chance in the fast-moving #AI market? Today's Axel Springer AI summit is grappling with this issue. For German speakers, I wrote a piece today for Welt addressing this question. My answer is yes, and among other things, #datasovereignty has to play a key role in Europe's efforts. That's because, beyond the hype around foundational large language models, there is still time to use AI as a tool to exploit the untapped "domain knowledge" locked deep within the old economy. Here is where startups, scaleups, European champions & Mittelstand have to find ways forward together. https://lnkd.in/d--qpXGD European Startup Network, Internet Economy Foundation (IE.F) Philippe Huberdeau

"If I do get replaced, I've done a very good job." Aidan Gomez was a co-author of the foundational "Attention is all you need" paper in 2017 that unleashed some of the rapid development of #AI in recent years. In this (english, after the intro) interview with the german Handelsblatt he shares his perspective on what brought this success about and how #AI models can push the economy in the future. After the foundational work by Aidan Gomez and others, it might be expected that future progress is not only determined by proportional (or logarithmic) technology growth, but also by other factors such as data security and privacy requirements as well as simple cultural adoption. Leaving humans out of the loop can work during a quick PoC but not during large scale adoption, which is why Aidan Gomez emphasizes the importance of public #trust in this new #technology, which some providers have so far willfully neglected by carelessly disposing of private and sensitive #data and feeding it into training sets without consent. The attitude of private and commercial customers couldn't be more critical. "If people don't trust that their data and their models belong to them, then they won't adopt the technology and they won't put it into production." https://lnkd.in/eW7UzqeE
