It needs more compute.
Years ago (just before everything became AI this and AI that) there was a discussion about the collection of big data - essentially, the very plausible argument was that you can collect all you want but you just can't sift through it in time. There always were reports of how this terrorist's FB timeline showed his radicalisation - after they killed people.
So people called for small data instead: just collect the metadata. Not that I approve of that either, but it would have made more sense, also wrt environmental impact i.e. energy consumption.
But very soon AI came, Trump was already there, and suddenly it was all Big Data again - plus AI.
This is where we are now. And speaking for the devil: the infrastructure needs to grow to keep up with all the exciting new possiblities.
