Fusion Fund's Lucy Zhang predicts a significant shift in AI infrastructure, with inference computing demands set to surpass training by a 70/30 split. She highlights that communication within data centers consumes vastly more energy than computation itself, suggesting a critical need for advancements in optical communication. Zhang also emphasizes that the primary bottleneck for physical AI is the lack of high-quality, real-world data, rather than model size or compute power, pointing to sectors like healthcare as rich sources for this data.
