00:00AI's biggest chipmakers are suddenly facing a massive investor sell-off.
00:04Global markets have been shaken as investors reconsider the enormous spending behind
00:08artificial intelligence. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq plunged 5.5% in Thursday's trading,
00:15while semiconductor stocks suffered particularly heavy losses. The pressure quickly spread across
00:20Asia. In South Korea, the Kospi plunged more than 8% early Friday, triggering a temporary
00:26trading halt. Taiwan's biggest chipmaker, TSMC, also hit its daily trading limit down at the
00:33market's opening. But what is driving this sudden change? Investors are increasingly questioning
00:38whether billions of dollars spent building AI data centers, buying chips, and expanding computing
00:44capacity will actually generate enough profit. The concern is no longer just how quickly AI can grow.
00:50It is whether the enormous investment behind it can deliver the financial returns markets have
00:55been expecting. For the AI industry, that is becoming a major test. Disclosure, this video
