AI bubble
Definition
A speculative economic bubble in financial markets characterized by excessive investment and hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and companies, leading to inflated valuations that may not reflect underlying fundamentals.
A period of rapid growth in AI-related stock prices and venture funding, often compared to historical bubbles like the dot-com era, driven more by enthusiasm than sustainable profitability.
