In the competitive race to develop advanced AI models, Oracle's CTO emphasized the immense financial and technological demands involved. He highlighted that building a frontier AI model over the next 3 years could require an investment of $100 billion, underscoring the high stakes and limited participation from companies and countries. The CTO noted the critical importance of being first in the AI race, particularly in applications such as self-driving cars, cancer biopsy analysis, and video synthesis. The demand for GPUs and the desire to create the most capable neural networks are driving this intense competition. Industry leaders like Dell, Larry Ellison, Jensen Huang, and Marc Benioff are actively engaged in this technological pursuit.
