Reveals critical supply chain and data bottlenecks constraining AI industry growth
At the Milken Global Conference, executives from ASML, Google Cloud, Applied Intuition, Perplexity, and Logical Intelligence discussed AI supply chain constraints. ASML's CEO predicts 2-5 years of supply limitations despite accelerated chip manufacturing efforts.
Five key AI industry leaders spoke at the Milken Global Conference about critical constraints facing the sector. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet warned of supply limitations lasting 2-5 years despite accelerated chip manufacturing. Google Cloud COO Francis deSouza noted their revenue hit $20 billion with 63% growth, while backlog nearly doubled from $250 billion to $460 billion in one quarter. Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis identified real-world data collection as a bottleneck for physical AI systems, stating synthetic simulation cannot fully replace real-world training data. The panel also included Perplexity CBO Dimitry Shevelenko and Logical Intelligence founder Eve Bodnia, whose company challenges foundational AI architecture with Yan LeCun as founding chair of their technical research board.
