למה גוגל מפסידה במירוץ הבינה המלאכותית

Hardware Dependency Crisis

Google relies on third party semiconductors while competitors control supply chains. Samsung and SK hynix competition for AI memory chip dominance in 2026 demonstrates how hardware manufacturers now drive AI capability. Google lacks equivalent vertical integration in critical components.

Market Momentum Loss

Chinese AI development accelerated dramatically with 16 tracked signals versus only 6 from the United States in recent geopolitical intelligence data. OpenAI and Anthropic captured enterprise adoption first, establishing switching costs. Google's Gemini series launched reactively rather than definitively, ceding narrative control and institutional partnerships to competitors who moved faster with clearer product differentiation.
