AI’s trillion dollar time bomb

There’s a time bomb ticking in the AI space: spending is too high, and returns are too low. Megacaps like Meta, Google and Amazon have seen capex spending surge as they throw cash at building out the infrastructure to stay ahead of the AI game. Microsoft in particular has spent billions at a premium valuation, and shelled out $13 billion investing in OpenAI while Apple was reportedly able to secure a partnership with the startup darling for free just 18 months later. That could be a warning for the broader AI space, as experts sound the alarm on the widening gap between what companies are spending on AI, and what they’re getting back from it.

Superhuman Vision: AI Sees What You Can’t | Akshat Dave | TEDxMIT

What if we could see the invisible? At MIT, we’re turning this concept into reality through extreme cameras and extreme AI. I’ll demonstrate how we’re pushing the boundaries of human perception, from seeing around corners to detecting invisible stress in objects. Imagine the possibilities: cars that can spot incoming traffic from blind spots, or bridges that warn us before they collapse. AI with superhuman vision is on the horizon and you truly won’t see it coming.
