Quick Glance: Google to Surpass Microsoft in AI Investment, DeepMind CEO Affirms

Many of us have fallen under the spell of the foundation model in the past year and a half, triggered by OpenAI's unveiling of ChatGPT.

DeepMind, acquired by Google in 2014 for a reported £400-650 million, has achieved more impressive milestones than most.

Deep Mind's CEO Demis Hassabis confirmed at the TED 40th anniversary conference in Vancouver, Canada, that Google has no intention of slowing down investment in the technology, but rather the opposite.

Hassabis emphasized the need to avoid an artificial intelligence arms race that could lead to risky decisions and highlighted the importance of society starting to think about the types of architectures being built as we approach achieving artificial general intelligence.

forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2024/04/02/the-billionaires-getting-rich-from-ai-2024/

Quick Glance: Billionaires Profiting from AI 2024

The AI gold rush has led to a plethora of new billionaires in the sector, as surging values for both public and private companies with ties to AI have skyrocketed.

Over the past year, tech companies, both new and old, have seen massive share price increases, making the world's tech tycoons even richer and introducing over a dozen new AI billionaires into the Forbes World's Billionaires list.

Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang serves as the poster child for this boom. However, other companies like Super Micro Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, and Cloudflare also benefited from the trend. Privately owned AI companies have also gained momentum, with AI-centric startups alone raising nearly $50 billion in funding last year.

Major tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet have significantly contributed to financing private AI companies to compete in the AI race. However, it remains to be seen if and when the AI bubble will burst and funding could dry up.
