Schmidhuber on AI Infrastructure ROI Risks
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-07-17
Schmidhuber discusses the so-called AI infrastructure trap: investing $1 trillion in GPUs and data centers now could result in a $900 billion loss five years down the line.
His reasoning is that compute and data center investments are scaling too rapidly, while business models might not generate enough return to recoup such massive capital expenditures. Consequently, someone is bound to suffer huge losses in this spending cycle.
