It’s not going to burst, it’s an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.
Unless they can show an obvious advantage people aren’t going to pay more to be spied on.
The reason that smartphones became so ubiquitous was because they were useful products that actually had capabilities that were attractive to the general public it was only afterwards that they started to be used for spying. It doesn’t work the other way around you can’t make a spy product and expect people to buy it.
It’s not just AI though, it’s all data centers. Including all the corporate stuff that has nothing to do with AI.
The company I work for has computers in data centers all over the world doing all sorts of stuff. Some of it is AI sure, but a lot of it is for remote networking or processing of large data sets, a lot of it is to do with scientific research and security research. That was going up even before AI came along.
Can’t wait for the bubble to burst!
