Questions 46-50 refer to the following news report
Wall Street is anxious about the lack of profits from artificial intelligence (AI) despite huge investments from tech giants. Over the past 18 months since the launch of ChatGPT, companies like Amazon, Intel, Google, Microsoft, and Meta have poured billions into AI, hoping it would transform industries and boost profits. However, the current AI products, such as chatbots and AI-driven search, haven't yet delivered significant revenue. This has led to investor frustration.
Amazon's recent earnings report highlighted concerns about its heavy spending on AI without clear returns, causing its stock to drop by nearly 9%. Intel faced a similar situation, with its stock plummeting 25% after announcing cost cuts and layoffs. Investors worry that the money spent on AI might not yield the expected benefits.
Some investors hoped tech companies would start reducing their AI investments. However, companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta plan to continue spending heavily on AI. Microsoft expects its data center investments to support AI monetization over the next 15 years. Meta's CFO mentioned that significant returns from AI are still a long way off. This long-term approach is unsettling for investors used to steady, short-term growth.
Tech leaders believe the risk of underinvesting in AI is greater than overinvesting. They are willing to endure current losses, aiming to secure a future leadership position in AI. 《Adapted from: CNN News》
