AI demand stays strong as firms shift to ‘valuemaxxing,’ executives say

CNBC Markets reports that executives are saying AI demand remains strong despite volatility in AI related chip stocks and an ongoing debate over whether companies are spending enough to match expectations.

The outlet frames the current market tension around enterprises increasingly focusing on getting more value from AI deployments, a shift described as moving toward “valuemaxxing.”

CNBC also notes that the discussion has contributed to swings in shares tied to AI demand, even as executives maintain that overall demand is still “almost unlimited.”
