What are the key factors influencing the future of AI investment ?
Manu Gopinath , Chief Operating Officer at UST : Technological Advancements : Continuous innovations in AI algorithms , hardware , and data processing capabilities are expanding the range of viable applications . This creates innovative domain use cases to level the playing field for enterprise customers .
The future of AI investment is driven by several key factors . Proven models in industries such as manufacturing , financial services , and healthcare are spurring increased adoption and investment . Simultaneously , companies are recognising the need for robust AI infrastructure , leading to larger investment budgets .
Brian Diffin , EVP , CTO at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting : Ultimately , I believe the number one factor with AI investments is all about return on that investment ( ROI ). Currently , I believe all companies , from the largest hyperscaler to small , individuals introducing AI into their products , are still trying to understand how to monetize their AI investments . Certainly , Nvidia and anyone involved in building and cooling data centres are generating windfalls of revenue and profits , however many businesses are still searching for and experimenting with different pricing models and approaches to ensure an ROI .
