the AI boom is is already here. [music]

0:02

And I think this is a very positive

0:04

thing. It's something that we should be

0:05

trying to nurture [clears throat]

0:07

uh as opposed to to [music] hamstring.

Uh roughly $800 billion is being

0:12

invested in the US this year on capex

0:15

related to building out the

0:16

infrastructure for AI, the compute

0:19

capacity. And that number is expected to

0:21

be 1.4 trillion dollar next year. And

0:25

every time I see the numbers, they keep

0:27

getting revised up. We really haven't

0:29

seen a buildout of this kind of

0:31

infrastructure. You have to go all the

0:33

way back to the railroads in the 1800s

0:35

to to see something of of equal scale.

0:38

It's actually even bigger than the fiber

0:40

buildout uh of the internet. It's it's a

0:42

it's a new industrial revolution. And I

0:45

think that if we harness this uh

0:48

correctly, it's an opportunity for uh

0:51

for for the US to to re-industrialize,

0:54

to upgrade its power grid, uh to bring

0:56

back some some manufacturing in these

0:58

cutting edge areas. Yes.

Interactive Summary

The video highlights the rapid growth and massive financial investment in AI infrastructure, comparing the current buildout to the 19th-century railroad expansion and the internet's fiber revolution, while framing it as a significant opportunity for US re-industrialization.
