Middle East investors, including sovereign wealth funds from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, account for about a quarter of global AI investments over the next five years. Jack Selby from Thiel Capital warns that ongoing conflict in Iran could cause these investors to redirect funds towards domestic rebuilding, risking hundreds of billions in AI capital and data center projects worldwide. This could disrupt major AI infrastructure developments by companies like Oracle, Nvidia, and Microsoft, which are heavily invested in the region. Selby also cautions about an AI investment bubble, comparing it to the dot-com era, and advocates investing in tech firms outside traditional hubs like California and New York for better value.
