Lisa Su emphasizes AI’s transition to real-world business applications, signaling a new phase beyond infrastructure and training.
Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su stated AI has reached an inflection point where businesses are deploying it in production workflows 24/7. Speaking at AMD’s Advancing AI 2026 conference, Su noted the focus has shifted from training models to inference, where AI is actively used in real-world applications rather than pilots or demos.
The remarks contrast with the earlier phase of AI development, dominated by large-scale model training requiring massive GPU power. Su’s comments suggest AMD sees a growing market for AI-driven business solutions, positioning the company differently than it was a year ago.
Su avoided dramatic language but underscored the significance of AI’s evolution, framing it as a pivotal moment for the industry’s future direction.
