Amid concerns of a slowdown in AI development, particularly regarding frontier models, analysts maintain that significant opportunities still exist for companies leveraging current AI technologies. Notably, over 70% to 90% of businesses are already utilizing AI, indicating a vast market for existing capabilities. Deloitte’s 2026 outlook suggests that inference, the task of applying AI, will constitute roughly two-thirds of AI computing by that year.
This shift in focus comes after high-profile figures such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a deliberate slowdown in developing more advanced AI models following public safety concerns. These developments contributed to a decline in AI stock valuations, triggering questions about the future investment landscape.
One company making strides in applied AI is a food-service robotics startup, which uses AI technology to teach robots new skills efficiently. With this advancement, the potential applications for AI in various sectors, including healthcare and manufacturing, could expand significantly, marking continued growth momentum even as frontier AI development faces hurdles.
