Artificial intelligence has become a key driver of the global economy, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in investment and fueling stock market growth in the United States and Asia. However, unprecedented enthusiasm conceals the risk of a speculative bubble that, once burst, could trigger a crisis with cascading effects on financial markets, jobs, and economies dependent on the technology sector. Growing debt, potentially overvalued profits, and concentrated investment within a single sector are fueling these fears. A collapse wouldn’t necessarily mean the end of artificial intelligence; similar to the internet, the technology could survive. Remaining companies could then build a more stable industry, according to an analysis published by Foreign Affairs. The analysis suggests a potential restructuring after a market correction.
