The effects of the artificial intelligence boom are no longer limited to just tech companies and data centers. Its consequences are now directly reaching consumers through higher prices for electronic devices and digital services. According to a report published by Business Insider, the increasing demand for AI infrastructure has put significant pressure on the supply chains for electronic chips and memory components. This has led to rising production costs across several tech sectors.

Reports indicate that companies working on AI infrastructure are now acquiring a large portion of the world's chip production. This has resulted in a shortage of supplies available for manufacturing smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices.
