Is the A.I. gravy train ending in 2024?

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to face a challenging year in 2024 as costs surge, according to a prediction by analyst firm CCS Insight. The firm believes that the hype around generative AI will taper off, particularly for smaller developers, due to the increasing expenses associated with operating the technology.

Ben Wood, CCS Insight's chief analyst, highlighted that while big firms can afford the significant costs of deploying and maintaining generative AI, many smaller developers and organizations might find it prohibitively expensive.

Not sure we agree…most large organizations are overbuilding GPU capacity and we think costs will come down. What do you think?
