Geldanlage: Rechenleistung wird zur Anlageklasse – was Investoren jetzt wissen müssen

Frankfurt – The next phase of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom is being driven by America's financial sector. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has formed a partnership with six major financial institutions, which plan to invest a total of 500 billion dollars into AI infrastructure. Their aim is to make computational power an investable asset class, similar to how oil and energy are viewed.

According to Stephan Kemper, Head of Fixed Income Strategy at BNP Paribas, the financial ecosystem surrounding AI is being built. An important step is set to follow in early October when the world's largest futures exchange, CME, will make computational power tradable. This new financial ecosystem aims to create new sources of funding for AI's massive financial needs and to spread risks across a wider base of investors. However, critics caution that this could also introduce new risks.
