That\u2019s a structural transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is this growth sustainable or another bubble about to burst, potentially wiping out $40 trillion of value from the Nasdaq and washing away upstart AI companies faster than they sprouted?<\/p>\n<p><em>Forbes <\/em>expert contributors have been on AI-bubble watch for months, tracking reliable signs of stability while warning about soft spots that echo the dot-com crash a generation ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see three scenarios,\u201d <em>Forbes <\/em>senior markets contributor Peter Cohan says. \u201cGenAI keeps booming, there\u2019s a soft-landing in which valuations decline somewhat, and the OpenAI bankruptcy scenario, which brings it all down abruptly should the company be unable to raise more capital to fund its money-losing operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, OpenAI, the most recognizable brand name in artificial intelligence, has become a symbol and driver of the boom.<\/p>\n<p>Every megadeal OpenAI strikes \u2014 with AMD, Broadcom, Nvidia, Oracle and even Walmart \u2014 adds another billion-dollar brick to the AI foundation or inflates the potential bubble even more. Anxiety is growing while investor consensus ranges from cautiously optimistic to defiantly bullish.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Inside The New AI Economy<\/h2>\n<p><em>Forbes<\/em> contributor and big-tech veteran Sol Rashidi points to \u201cOpenAI\u2019s ambitions to vertically integrate compute, data, and model training at unprecedented scale.\u201d The company\u2019s chief executive Sam Altman and his team have \u201cquietly built a playbook based on ecosystem control, upstream equity leverage, and industrial-scape deployment, setting the tone for the next phase of AI\u2019s evolution,\u201d Rashidi writes.<\/p>\n<p>Markman agrees: \u201cUnlike speculative manias of the past, today\u2019s AI wave is not made of vaporware or \u2018eyeball metrics.\u2019 It is grounded in tangible demand, real products, and astronomical computing requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those computing demands are costly, requiring hundreds of billions of dollars in new infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n<p>Deals help sponsor innovation, which is the growth engine of the U.S. economy, observes <em>Forbes<\/em> contributor Christer Holloman. Perhaps the most vital deal in the AI economy is OpenAI\u2019s partnership with chipmaker Nvidia, the most valuable publicly traded company and a key tech bellwether.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Echoes Of The Dot-Com Era<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens when the AI bubble starts to leak?\u201d wonders <em>Forbes <\/em>AI contributor Cortney Harding. \u201cThere are some early potential warning signs that things have gotten a little too frothy and may be pushing us in 2000s dot-com bubble territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2000, the top tech stocks \u2014 Cisco, Dell, Intel, Lucent and Microsoft \u2014 accounted for 15% of the S&amp;P 500. \u201cSuch concentration heightens risk,\u201d says Paulo Carv\u00e3o, a <em>Forbes<\/em> contributor and a senior fellow at Harvard. Today, it\u2019s even more worrisome, Carv\u00e3o warns: The so-called Magnificent Seven stocks, which include some of the most heavily favored AI leaders, account for more than a third of the S&amp;P index.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concern is less about AI\u2019s long-term promise and more about inflated expectations setting the stage for a sharp correction,&#8221; Carv\u00e3o says, adding: \u201cBinary thinking that swings between hype and the fear of an AI bubble may limit more nuanced analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For some of that needed nuance, read more from <em>Forbes\u2019<\/em> experts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffreymarcus\/2025\/10\/28\/ai-boom-or-ai-bubble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Markets are soaring.
