  "summary": "Broadcom CEO Hock Tan and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan warned in Singapore that access to capital and rising borrowing costs could become a major constraint on the artificial intelligence boom. According to Quartz, both executives suggested that financing costs and the necessity of demonstrating returns on AI investments pose a greater risk than shortages in power or chips.\n\nSpeaking at the DBS Asia Future Forward Conference on Oct 12, the executives responded to questions regarding whether the world is overbuilding AI. They stated that demand for AI infrastructure is expected to continue growing over the next three to five years, with growth primarily limited by supply constraints.",
