Applied Materials Sees AI Demand Through 2030

10 sourcesUpdated Sep 10, 2026

Applied Materials executives say artificial-intelligence demand is driving strong, potentially multiyear growth in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, with customers providing rolling forecasts and committing to future tool shipments. The company expects particularly strong momentum in advanced packaging, DRAM equipment, services, and process diagnostics as chipmakers expand capacity for AI systems. Qualcomm CFO and COO Akash Palkhiwala joined Applied Materials’ board and audit committee, adding semiconductor finance, operations, and supply-chain expertise as the company navigates the investment cycle. The outlook remains dependent on sustained AI-related capital spending, with a sharp slowdown among major chipmakers or in key regions posing the central risk to orders and the stock’s valuation.

A former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher, Jacob Coxon, has resigned from Anthropic and warned that leading AI labs are racing toward self-improving systems with insufficient safeguards, a trajectory he says could threaten humanity within the decade. He argues that private concerns among insiders contrast with public statements and calls for broader oversight or regulatory slowdowns to address the risks.
