Are we in an AI bubble?

The World at One Highlights

Available for over a year

Warnings about the ‘AI stock market bubble’ have been coming in thick and fast, with the Bank of England suggesting a ‘sudden correction could occur’, and the International Monetary Fund warning a ‘potential bust’ could ‘rival the dot-com crash’ of the early noughties. So, with even with Open AI’s Sam Altman suggesting many parts of the industry are ‘kind of bubbly right now’, are we in an AI stock market bubble? The World at One’s Sarah Montague and PM’s Evan Davis discuss the wins, and the potential losses, of investments in the sector.
