AI Infrastructure Market: Broadcom CEO dismisses Anthropic slowdown push, AI revenue targets firm
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said on CNBC's Mad Money that the debate over a potential slowdown in frontier AI model development, sparked by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's weekend essay, has not changed the company's AI revenue targets for fiscal 2027 and 2028. Tan reaffirmed forecasts of $115 billion in AI semiconductor revenue for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028. He noted strong demand for inference computing and said Anthropic is on track to become Broadcom's largest custom chip customer in 2027 and 2028. Tan agreed with Amodei on the need for AI safeguards but compared AI's potential to the Industrial Revolution, emphasizing its value creation. The comments come amid investor concerns, reflected in a 4.8% drop in Broadcom shares and a 5.6% decline in the semiconductor ETF.
AI infrastructure demand is central to AdTech's backend; Broadcom's reaffirmed targets signal stable compute supply for AI-driven advertising, but the slowdown debate introduces potential volatility.
