AI Is Still in Its Infancy, Leaving Long-Term Opportunities Ahead

“We’re in the infancy of AI.”
Sylvia Jablonski argues that despite the massive rally across AI-related assets, the technology is still at a very early stage of its long-term development.
For investors, that means the opportunity may extend far beyond the companies that have already benefited from the first wave of AI spending.
The next phase could increasingly favor businesses tied to data centers, semiconductors, power generation, cooling, networking and software applications built on top of AI infrastructure.
The key is identifying where capital spending and adoption are accelerating before those trends become fully reflected in valuations.
For long-term investors, the AI trade may be less about chasing the biggest recent winners and more about finding the next layers of the ecosystem that benefit as adoption expands.
