Stephen Carroll: 我认为，人工智能技术将在未来20年内显著提高生产力，并将融入各行各业。 Mark Bergen: 英伟达公司已成为AI领域的领导者，其AI加速器芯片占据了绝大部分市场份额。此外，其供应商SK海力士、台积电和ASML也在各自领域占据主导地位，形成了强大的寡头垄断格局。虽然这些公司目前尚未被认定存在反竞争行为，但其市场支配地位不容忽视。英伟达最大的客户（微软、亚马逊、谷歌和Meta）也在积极开发自有芯片，这将对英伟达的市场份额构成潜在挑战。同时，一些初创公司和现有公司（如英特尔和三星）也在努力追赶英伟达的技术。ASML公司在其特定类型的光刻机市场占据垄断地位，竞争者难以超越。 Mark Mandel & Mark Mirchandani: 我们应该区分市场份额上的垄断和法律意义上的垄断。虽然这些公司在市场份额上占据垄断地位，但目前尚未被认定存在反竞争行为。 Mark Bergen: 监管机构对英伟达可能存在的捆绑销售行为表示担忧，这可能会限制其他芯片厂商的竞争。当前AI芯片巨头的崛起更类似于微软和英特尔的Wintel时代，而非iPhone或谷歌的时刻。当前AI领域的市场关注度、资金投入和对AI硬件支出的预期都达到了前所未有的水平。
