The CEO remains cautious about the AI boom
The story so far
CEO of Sixth Street, Alan Waxman, expressed concerns about credit expansion and speculative behavior in the AI field, believing that the economic efficiency of AI units is difficult to assess, and lending institutions have reduced financing for AI infrastructure projects. The scale of capital expenditure in the AI field is unprecedented, and 'due to the continuous development of AI, no one truly understands its unit economic efficiency'; at least in the credit area, it is hard to evaluate this. It is slightly different in terms of equity; Sixth Street worries about the rapid expansion of credit in the AI field, and 'speculative fervor, animal spirits, or fear of missing out'; as concerns about the risks in this field increase, lending institutions have reduced financing for AI infrastructure projects.
