The provided texts offer contrasting, yet complementary, perspectives on the current state and future of artificial intelligence (AI) investments. One article from Nasdaq, dated December 2024, predicts an AI bubble burst in 2025, citing historical patterns of overvaluation in emerging technologies, the anticipated decline in GPU scarcity affecting companies like Nvidia, potential US government regulatory actions impacting trade with China, and unsustainable valuations of leading AI stocks such as Palantir Technologies. Conversely, an August 2025 article from The Verge features OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitting his belief that AI is currently in a bubble, drawing parallels to the dot-com era where initial overexcitement about a core truth led to inflated valuations for nascent companies, though he anticipates OpenAI will navigate this period successfully. Both sources, therefore, acknowledge the existence of an AI investment frenzy, with one forecasting its imminent conclusion and the other offering an insider's confirmation of the speculative market conditions.
