🧐 Expert Insights: Who Will Actually Survive the AI Era?
Beyond the numbers, we are witnessing a massive generational shift in the industry. Looking at the results of the M7 race, here is my take on the Future Market Survival Equation.
1. The Fall of Software and the Rise of Giant AI Sovereigns
The old saying “Software is eating the world” was once dominant, but we are now in the era of “AI eating Software.” Traditional SaaS (Software as a Service) companies will gradually lose their competitive edge. Only a few Giant AI corporations with their own Large Language Models (LLMs) will stand at the top of the ecosystem.
2. Hardware is Sovereign: Semiconductor Manufacturing & Equipment
A powerful AI brain needs equally powerful muscles to operate. In addition to NVIDIA’s design capabilities, the position of Semiconductor Manufacturers and Equipment companies that can physically implement AI will become even more solid. Technology without manufacturing infrastructure is like building a castle on sand.
* TSMC (Taiwan): The unrivaled #1 foundry producing over 90% of the world’s AI chips.
* Samsung Electronics (Korea): Possesses the potential to handle both foundry and memory (HBM) needs.
* SK Hynix (Korea): A key partner of NVIDIA and a leader in the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) market.
* ASML (Netherlands): The “Super Supplier” with a monopoly on EUV lithography equipment for ultra-fine processes.
* Intel (USA): Backed by full support from the US government—watch for the survival of their ‘IDM 2.0’ vision.
3. The New Bottleneck: Energy and Power Grids (SMR)
Ultimately, the winner of the AI war will be decided by “who can secure a stable power supply.” The real winners will be companies involved in smart power grids and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) required to run power-hungry data centers.
* NuScale Power: The pioneer that first received SMR design certification in the US.
* TerraPower: A next-generation nuclear power company founded by Bill Gates.
* Doosan Enerbility (Korea): A key global foundry (manufacturing) hub for SMR production.
* Oklo: An SMR developer for AI data centers, backed by Sam Altman.
* Rolls-Royce SMR (UK): A strong player in SMRs aiming for energy independence across Europe.
In the end, the survivors of the future market will be those who control the three pillars: Giant AI, Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Energy Infrastructure.
