AI Infrastructure - Mapping The Next Economic Revolution

Introduction-economic revolution requires global systems, not point solutions
Research of artificial intelligence (AI) effectively began with Alan Turing in the early 1940s, and slowly progressed in fits and starts until the deep learning revolution of the 2010s. This era of research, driven by academics-and soon after by industry-propelled the domain forward to the generative era we're in today. As companies and countries today open up their war chests and spend trillions of dollars to advance AI capabilities, the long-term goal is artificial general intelligence (AGI), but the short-term goal is incremental revenue gains that can fund the continued deployment of massive AI infrastructure projects.
