OpenAI’s Trillion-Dollar AI Bet Risks Global Economic Stability
OpenAI is making unprecedented financial commitments approaching $1 trillion for AI chips while generating only $13 billion in annual revenue. Analysts warn the discrepancy creates systemic risk where Sam Altman “has the power to crash the global economy for a decade” if the AI bet fails to pay off.
OpenAI finds itself in a precarious financial position that could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy, according to multiple financial analyses. Despite being valued at a staggering $500 billion and ranking as the world’s most valuable private company, the ChatGPT maker is reportedly burning through cash at an unsustainable rate while making trillion-dollar commitments to semiconductor suppliers.
