The scheme, which could be released this month, would require the companies to comply with strict requirements. This involves reporting key information to the US government and blocking Chinese access to AI chips. According to sources, doing so will allow them to offer artificial intelligence capabilities within the cloud overseas without a license.
While the government is keen on making tech giants gatekeepers, news reported by the Financial Times reveals how Blue Whale Capital investment fund has reduced its stakes in major US technology companies amid concerns about the costs of artificial intelligence. Besides one chip-maker tech giant out of the Mag 7, the fund is increasingly less positive on the rest of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks because of spending on AI, as reported by fund manager Stephen Yiu.
Even though tech giants are adamant that their spending is going to pay off in the long run, the move implies how not everyone is easily convinced. Jim Tierney, a growth stock investor at AllianceBernstein, noted how all of these companies, who are reportedly spending huge amounts of money, will have a hit to their profit margins. This hit is going to be even more noticeable in 2025.
In this regard, a report by The New York Times reveals how OpenAI could reportedly see a loss as big as $5 billion.

Only time will reveal whether these groundbreaking advancements can justify the immense investments that are pouring into the technology.
