The news: AI companies reliant on scaling laws to make their models more powerful are facing diminishing returns, per TechCrunch, an indicator of a potential slowdown in innovation across the industry.
The frenetic pace of AI development has seen the industry evolve from generative AI (genAI) chatbots like ChatGPT to a wide range of applications, including image processing, search, and AI agents.
The trend: The AI segment faces a potential plateau as the rapid innovation of recent years hits the limits of AI capabilities. Energy demands and hardware limitations further compound the challenge.
