Part 8/9:
When asked about the future of AI and whether it would favor the organizations that can simply invest the most money, Dean clarified that the ultimate victor in this space will likely be the one that achieves the optimal balance of innovative algorithms and effective hardware infrastructure. While significant investments are necessary, algorithmic improvements can be equally, if not more, crucial for progress.
