Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said in an interview with the media on Monday that despite recent market shocks and investors beginning to re-evaluate the risks hidden behind large-scale expansion of computing power, the demand for financing in the field of artificial intelligence infrastructure is still strong. Solomon said that Goldman Sachs has “moved frequently” in AI-related capital market transactions in recent weeks, and he expects this trend to continue. Solomon said, “The market still has strong investment demand for AI infrastructure expansion and related technology to support AI development.” He said that factors such as changes in the political environment will lead to “repricing and market fluctuations. We are currently seeing such fluctuations.” “But I have always been convinced that artificial intelligence has strong potential to boost productivity in the US economy in the long run.” Referring to Anthropic's IPO, Solomon declined to comment in detail on this IPO, only saying, “We will wait and see if the listing can be promoted in the end and what the next trend is. But I would like to say that the current overall market environment is still quite favorable.” Solomon also refuted political boycotts against data center construction. He believes that this kind of infrastructure is critical to the US economy, and at the same time, it can follow a compliant and responsible construction path. He said, “Of course, we don't want this kind of infrastructure to go outside of the US; there is a real demand for computing power. If domestic development is blocked, the migration of production capacity is a natural result.”
