Hardware scaling also remains important alongside algorithmic progress to support AI infrastructure investments. In addition, China continues to play a significant role in AI innovation, with companies like Alibaba developing competitive models.
UBS maintained a positive view of Chinese internet firms due to their ability to offer customizable, cost-effective AI solutions.

UBS believes that despite fluctuations, AI investment remains solid, with major tech firms expected to increase capital spending in 2025. AI adoption is also rising, supporting cloud growth and monetization.
