The AI Super Cycle: Demand and Investment [0:27]
The report covers the AI super cycle, focusing on current leading companies and future trends. The primary driver in the AI market is unprecedented demand. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle, and Tesla are the top investors in AI infrastructure, particularly GPUs. In January, these companies announced $31 billion in investments, which increased by 20% to $365 billion by May. This surge in investment is driven by the need to process massive amounts of data, with Microsoft processing over 100 trillion tokens, a fivefold increase from the previous year.
The Rise of New AI Companies [2:32]
While established tech companies faltered, new companies specializing in AI foundation models, such as OpenAI, XAI, and Entropy, have gained prominence. Data infrastructure companies like Coreweave and Databricks, along with B2C user application and robotics companies, are also on the rise. Emrobin, a mobile advertising company using AI to tailor ads, has seen sales per capita more than double. Notion, with its AI function, has seen user adoption increase from 10% to 51%. Open Evidence, used by over 30% of internists in the U.S., provides accurate medical references, while legal tech companies are experiencing rapid growth, with 34 of the top 100 U.S. law firms using AI for legal analysis and document writing.
The Emergence of Neo Clouds and AI in Development [5:23]
Neo Clouds, AI-specific clouds, are emerging as alternatives to hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Together AI has seen a sixfold increase in token usage in just nine months. Core Weave, a leader in this space, has seen its stock price more than triple since its IPO, with sales increasing sevenfold in one year, driven by its early access to Nvidia chips. AI is also transforming the world of developers, with "vibe coding" becoming popular, allowing developers to create sites using AI assistance. Coding AI has seen annual recurring revenue almost quadruple in one year.
AI's Impact on the Job Market and Investment Strategies [6:58]
AI is significantly impacting market knowledge labor, with potential replacements in medicine, law, and development. The combined human rights cost in these sectors reaches 8 trillion won per year. While the impact may not be immediate, many jobs are likely to be replaced by AI in the coming years. Despite tariff shocks, liquidity is flowing into AI, making it a promising investment area. Historically, the impact of technological advancements has been underestimated, and AI is expected to have a larger impact than the internet.
The Potential Economic Impact of AI and Investment Recommendations [8:56]
AI is seen as a cognitive revolution, potentially increasing productivity and reducing labor costs, leading to lower inflation and interest rates. This could create a virtuous cycle of increased investment, hiring, and GDP growth. The consensus is that AI will have a bigger impact than the internet, potentially increasing productivity by approximately 2.8%. The report recommends investing in a range of companies, from big tech to startups like OpenAI and SpaceX. Despite the appeal of smaller AI companies, investing in stable big tech companies is recommended for sufficient results even in 2025, given their resources in capital, technology and data.
