What is the AI bubble fear?
Asked 1 hour ago
Answer
The AI bubble fear refers to concerns that heavy investment and high valuations in AI may not be justified by actual profits or revenues, creating a risk of a financial bubble similar to the dot-com era. Industry leaders and investors warn that overinvestment could lead to a boom-and-bust cycle, with potential economic repercussions if the bubble bursts. These fears are fueled by circular investments, high debt, and doubts about long-term AI profitability.
