As per a CNBC report, billionaire investor Steve Cohen remains confident in the long-term potential of artificial intelligence, despite recent volatility. He views AI as a transformational shift that could take 10 to 20 years to fully unfold, which will impact businesses and daily life. Cohen acknowledged that the AI market may experience ups and downs, with periods of doubt fueled by misinformation and uncertainty. His comments followed a major sell-off in U.S. tech stocks, triggered by the competitive advancements of the Chinese startup DeepSeek. Despite this, Cohen’s firm plans to raise $1.5 billion for an AI-focused hedge fund to take advantage of the sector’s growth.
Embracing the AI Future in the U.S.
Steve Cohen’s support for AI’s long-term growth and President Donald Trump’s recent push for rapid AI infrastructure development highlight the U.S. emphasis on dominating the global AI race. However, Cohen stresses a more measured approach while Trump favors fewer regulatory constraints to accelerate progress.
In his first days back in office, Trump reversed Biden’s executive order on AI, removing key safety and transparency measures for AI development, Bloomberg reported. Trump introduced a $100 billion joint venture with SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle, focused on AI infrastructure like data centers. He emphasized reducing environmental regulations, which could relax clean energy requirements for powering AI operations. While tech leaders expressed optimism about Trump’s pro-tech stance, experts warned about the risks of unregulated AI growth. Trump’s focus on outpacing China in AI development could shift U.S. policy toward faster, less regulated progress, raising concerns about long-term consequences, the report stated.
