“Artificial intelligence is the new electricity.” - Andrew Ng, AI pioneer
Everyone's in on it!
The massive rise in artificial intelligence has triggered excitement and nervousness across global markets. Sky-high valuations of AI firms and chip-companies like Nvidia entering the multi trillion club show the scale of money flowing into silicon brains. There are two ways to look at it: a bubble building, or a foundation being laid for future turning points.
AI bubble has promise
Economic history teaches that bubbles can destroy wealth but leave behind large-scale structures that reshape the future. Unlike the dotcom crash that wiped out paper value, the AI moment in 2020s is building physical assets like data centres, compute infrastructure and GPU-powered digital solutions that companies and countries will use for long. Even if the AI hype vanishes, these assets will help other companies offer new solutions. The eventual winners will likely be companies that redefine intelligence in useful, scalable ways rather than just riding the hype.
Have faith and carry on
Circular financing and massive spending apparently cannot be sustained. But real progress often looks messy until the contours become visible. Recall how giant highways and large electricity grids were created even before citizens demanded those. It's likely the AI infrastructure will be fully exploited ten years from now, and beyond.
A story that could last
The AI bubble will surely cool, and players with poor sustaining power will be gone. But new companies will arise in use-cases in computing, robotics, science and design to become new icons. To many optimists, this phase is clearly the road to a more successful future for mankind.
Summary
The AI boom shows signs of a classic bubble with heavy speculation and debt. Yet unlike past crashes, it is building powerful infrastructure that could produce enduring winners who redefine intelligence and transform industries worldwide.
Food for thought
If bubbles are how humanity funds its biggest leaps, should we embrace them rather than fear them?
