iQIYI (IQ.O): Launches self-developed AI intelligent assistant Nadou Pro

Bridgewater CIO Greg Jensen warns that assets related to AI infrastructure have already been significantly priced in by the market, and the excess return opportunities of two years ago are fading. The fund has reduced its positions to a "very minimal" level. According to system modeling through 2028, the upside potential for assets such as chips and data centers is now very limited and faces risks of financing and construction delays. Bridgewater's strategic focus has shifted to AI disruption and application sectors.

According to reports, there is a severe shortage of core components for semiconductor equipment in South Korea. Delivery cycles have generally doubled, and waiting times for some Japanese-made parts are as long as 40 months, with components unavailable even at a premium price. Japanese suppliers are cautious about expanding production capacity, resulting in serious delays that have impacted downstream businesses. Major construction projects like Samsung’s Pyeongtaek and SK Hynix’s Yongin face the risk of postponement, with AI chip expansion plans running into a “hard wall” in the supply chain.
