We recently published a list of 9 Buzzing AI Stocks to Watch on Latest News. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stands against other buzzing AI stocks to watch on latest news.
Doug Clinton, Intelligent Alpha founder, talked recently about the issue of scaling in AI on CNBC and said that in the past the improvement of AI models was surging based on the data inputs. However, Clinton referred to the recent reports of AI models hitting a plateau in performance. He believes this issue will be important for AI investors in the coming months and years.
"Just to give the quick 101: Over the last few years, what we've seen in AI model development is that the more data you put into these models and the more compute you use to train them, the better the models get -- very predictable. However, recent reports from OpenAI and Google show that the latest models they've trained haven't been as good as expected based on scaling laws. This has sparked debate in Silicon Valley. Even Sam Altman tweeted about it last week, saying, "There is no wall," so maybe it's not an issue -- we'll see. But I think Jensen really needs to address that question because the 18 to 24-month picture hinges on whether these companies will need to invest in something beyond just compute."
However, the analyst is bullish on the broader AI market in the long term and believes companies are just getting started in this bull market.
"I think if you take a longer-term view -- 2 to 4 years -- we're still very confident we'll be in an AI bull market. That doesn't mean there won't be pullbacks here and there, but I think we have a long way to go. Companies are really just starting to adopt AI, and we'll begin to see those revenues over the next year and beyond."
