As the cost of cutting-edge AI/ML technology and software are high, I feel both will become a product sold as a service for this is the best result for the producers and users economically and time wise. To spread the cost over the largest base possible and to be able to offer specialized applications and migrations paths for specific needs and applications will be the future. It is not only the technology and economics that are important, but also the business models that make the most efficient use of hardware and software advances in not only time. Technology, economics and time to implementation are all needed to win the game and best ecosystem will win. TSM has a key part of this for absolute integrity is needed at ever step and this has been the key to not only their technologies, but their entire ecosystem. Samsung made a terrible mistake when the copied Apple on the fly and ended up in numerous court battles and caused Apple to back TSM. Integrity has to be a critical part of any ecosystem for it to succeed and Morris Chang mastered this early to make TSM what it is today.
