The AI buildout is the ‘new industrial revolution’

the AI boom is is already here. [music]
And I think this is a very positive
thing. It's something that we should be
trying to nurture [clears throat]
uh as opposed to to [music] hamstring.
Uh roughly $800 billion is being
invested in the US this year on capex
related to building out the
infrastructure for AI, the compute
capacity. And that number is expected to
be 1.4 trillion dollar next year. And
every time I see the numbers, they keep
getting revised up. We really haven't
seen a buildout of this kind of
infrastructure. You have to go all the
way back to the railroads in the 1800s
to to see something of of equal scale.
It's actually even bigger than the fiber
buildout uh of the internet. It's it's a
it's a new industrial revolution. And I
think that if we harness this uh
correctly, it's an opportunity for uh
for for the US to to re-industrialize,
to upgrade its power grid, uh to bring
back some some manufacturing in these
cutting edge areas. Yes.
