Bridgewater Warns AI Faces Infrastructure Wall
9.3
Bridgewater Associates warned investors that the AI boom is entering its "most dangerous phase," shifting from a software-driven, self-funding era to a capital-intensive industrial buildout. The firm estimates hyperscalers may need up to $650 billion for data centers, semiconductors, energy and networking, forcing greater reliance on external financing and creating an AI-infrastructure investment opportunity.
