OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that the artificial intelligence sector may be experiencing a bubble characterized by investor overexcitement, paralleling prior tech overvaluations such as the 1990s dot-com era. Despite issuing bubble warnings, Altman foresees OpenAI investing trillions in data center expansion to sustain growth. Industry analysis corroborates concerns about frothy valuations but underscores substantial technological progress underpinning current revenue surges. Leading AI firms and tech giants continue massive capital deployments, intensifying competition and fueling market speculation.
