RECENTLY, there has been a large volume of media coverage on whether investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the market towards an “AI bubble”.
Having witnessed the bursting of the tech bubble in the late 1990s, I believe lessons from that experience are applicable to the current environment.
The key question today is whether the appropriate analogy is the year 2000, which would imply that we are in a bubble that is about to burst; or 1998, which would imply the major inflection point has yet to be reached and the market may have more room to run.
