The market appeared overvalued this week, with a series of signals suggesting an AI investing bubble may be forming. Chamath Palihapitiya’s recent SPAC launch and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s comments about investors being “overexcited” about AI also contributed to the sentiment.
Altman stated that investors are likely in a phase where they’re overexcited, adding that AI models have already saturated the chat use case and may not get much better. He warned that the models could potentially worsen.
These concerns were echoed by UBS, which cited an MIT study finding that 95% of firms surveyed reported no measurable return on AI investment. Despite this, tech companies continue to push employees to use AI tools or face consequences.
Companies are even forcing employees to demonstrate their AI skills to get promoted. Meanwhile, some researchers have stopped saving due to concerns about money becoming obsolete with the advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
