Yes, Jensen Huang’s 5-layer cake framework models the AI build-out as an industrial revolution, where value is driven toward optimisation rather than downward destruction.

The Industrialisation Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  • Industrial Scale:<\/strong> Framed by NVIDIA as the largest infrastructure project in human history, shifting data centres into real-time “AI factories”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Standardisation:<\/strong> Much like electricity or the internet, intelligence is manufactured, driving marginal costs down while standardising the underlying utility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Value Dynamics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Upward Accrual:<\/strong> Economic benefit concentrates at the top application layer (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing), but the entire stack relies on strict physical constraints at the bottom (energy and power grids).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Cost vs. Value:<\/strong> Rather than destroying value, industrialisation turns raw computing into an abundant commodity, fuelling specialised productivity higher up the stack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
