The AI industry is deeply flawed, 'Zucked' author Roger McNamee says

- Meta Platforms (META) is all in on generative AI with some on Wall Street believing its executions in artificial intelligence deployments are out-performing peers in the tech space. While reporting a first-quarter earnings beat on the top and bottom line yesterday, Meta's stock has been dragged lower into Thursday's session on the tech giant's disappointing second-quarter outlook.
On Meta's earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg believed there's "a clear monetizable opportunity" for up-scalings on AI even though investors fear it will detract from Meta's core business component: its digital advertising.
Elevation Partners Co-Founder Roger McNamee - who was an early Meta investor when it originally operated as Facebook - sits down with Yahoo Finance to weigh in on Meta's new AI direction and shares his criticisms on Big Tech's early generative AI adoption before working out the kinks.
"If you believe that generative AI is real, then these investments may well work. The challenge that we have here is that this is a classic example of a product category where the demos are mind-bending, but the reality is something far less than that," McNamee explains. "And I think that we have seen consistently in use case after use case that the actual performance in the field has real issues, and the industry itself is trying to pretend like it's not a problem, that the amount of electrical power it requires is greater than the largest states in the country, that it needs more water than a small country. That the architecture itself appears to be deeply flawed..."

He is the sober voice of reason. I’m happy Apple hasn’t caved into investor hype about AI, I think just like pandemic hiring Apple is playing smart.
How can we make AI "efficient" when GPU consume so much power, especially on the inference side? 🤔🤔🤔
He's completely right. In order to have high quality AI you need immense and costly computational power from which we are, for the moment and mabye for the foreseeable future, far far away. At least until the arrival of quantum computing...
Bring a guy on who probably still owns a flip phone to talk about AI.
ZACK AND META!! they are really doing great!! but a leader in A.I noo.. to many leaders in that space and most people are still waiting year or year for Apple Inc.. simplely put, apple has to shine this year on AI..
This guy is making a fool of himself without realizing it.
How can anybody in, gods name, think AI isn't epoch changing technology !!!
I think the point is "Is this really AI?" or is it something that looks like "AI" but doesn't know the difference between truth and fiction.
@@chessdad182 Correct - and how much true value does it brings to customers today or in near future when using a phone or search. I can see its value at some point in future when AI tech is much evolved with time and is used in tandem with something like robotics or drones with sufficient intelligence to operate itself and make decisions but those tech point is far in the future ... At this point - using Gen AI (in its nascent form) is just like a cosmetic expensive toy
Someday, "real" general AI, sure! But right now the only one making money off AI is NVidia. Everyone else is still scrambling to get out of the red.
This guy don't know what's he talokng about.
this guy is clueless
