OpenAI has been the darling of investors, having raised more than $168bn so far. But with still no profitable business model in sight, big tech investors like Nvidia and Microsoft are starting to slow down.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company is set to invest another $30bn into OpenAI but said it \u201cmight be the last time\u201d the company will invest in the Sam Altman-led AI giant till it goes public.<\/p>\n

Separately, Huang said that a previously touted $100bn investment in infrastructure is \u201cnot in the cards\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, the investment Nvidia is moving forward with is still sizable, and experts warn that it is a big risk to take.<\/p>\n

\u201cThirty billion dollars is about an eighth of their [Nvidia] annual revenue. It\u2019s about 50 percent of their quarterly revenue that they just announced. It\u2019s significant,\u201d Aleksandar Tomic, associate dean for strategy, innovation and technology at Boston College, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s latest quarterly earnings beat forecasts, and the world\u2019s most valuable company expects first-quarter sales of $78bn, according to data compiled by LSEG. Revenue for the fourth quarter topped more than $68bn, up 73 percent compared to the same period last year, topping analyst expectations.<\/p>\n

Yet the stock tumbled more than 9 percent that week on the heels of its earnings as investors are wary if Nvidia\u2019s massive investments in AI companies like OpenAI \u2013\u00a0 currently valued at $730bn \u2013 will pay off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone knows how to properly value anything surrounding AI. We\u2019re still waiting to see how these companies will monetise what they produce and where customers will actually find value. Is it subscriptions? That segment doesn\u2019t seem large enough to justify the valuations we\u2019re seeing,\u201d says Tomic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to assign a clear value to any of this. The potential is enormous, but it\u2019s like the internet in the late \u201990s. The promise is there, even if…<\/p>\n
