The AI spending boom is showing no signs of slowing down, but as billions pour into models, chips and data centers, investors are asking where the biggest returns will actually be. Accel Partner Matt Weigand, who focuses on late-stage technology investments including AI infrastructure, says the AI boom is the biggest technology cycle Silicon Valley has seen. He also discusses why open-source AI can grow alongside frontier labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI and why trust and safety are becoming key considerations when Accel decides which AI founders to back. He joins Tim Stenovec on “Bloomberg Tech.”
