Description:
The AI bubble will cause chaos if it bursts, and we could be nearing the peak.

FULL STORY

Mutterings continue to swirl about "an AI bubble" - Jeff Bezos has admitted
it, Sam Altman has admitted it, and now, financial institutions are beginning
to sound the alarm over the potential catastrophic crash the economy faces if
the bubble bursts. 

The Bank of Englands financial policy committee warned the risk of sharp
market correction has increased, and that investors have not fully accounted
for these risks. 

On a number of measures, equity market valuations appear stretched,
particularly for technology companies focused on artificial intelligence. 
This  leaves equity markets particularly exposed should expectations around
the impact of AI become less optimistic, The Guardian reports . Boom and bust 

Huge circular deals between Nvidia, AMD, OpenAI, and Oracle have seen 
billions of dollars committed between the firms to fund chips, 
infrastructure, and AI models - which has sparked serious concern; 

"Today's valuations are heading toward levels we saw during the bullishness
about the internet 25 years ago If a sharp correction were to occur, tighter
financial conditions could drag down world growth, expose vulnerabilities, 
and make life especially tough for developing countries," warned the head of
the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva . 

Some research has even claimed AI-related capital expenditures have surpassed
the consumer in the US as the primary driver of economic growth in the first
half of 2025. 

AI-related stocks have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 80% of earnings
growth and 90% of capital spending growth since ChatGPT launched in November
2022, said Michael Cembalest, chairman of JP Morgan Asset Management 
Strategy. 

Thats a hell of a lot of spending considering research recently revealed that
almost all (95%) of generative AI pilots are failing . If investors dont 
start to see profit soon, the stock market valuations could suffer. 

Real use-cases of AI have been faltering too, with Deloitte forced to refund
the Australian government after it used AI to produce an error-strewn report
that included false citations, fake footnotes, and made-up court quotes. 

Although AI spending looks set to keep increasing for the foreseeable future,
some reports indicate AI use is actually now declining in large organizations
- which could signal the beginning of the end for the AI boom.
