· Business · Financial Times, Bloomberg
Aggressive price competition is shifting from consumer goods like sneakers to the artificial intelligence industry as companies vie for market dominance.

While consumers benefit from reduced costs, the long-term impact on the profitability of AI developers remains uncertain.
