Writer and EFF activist Cory Doctorow says the AI industry generates roughly $50bn in revenue against $1tn in spending, warning that US investors have 35% of stock market value tied up in just seven AI firms. Writing on September 11, he questions what a burst of the bubble would cost the advertising platforms currently funding the boom. The figures are fueling debate about whether AI investment is unsustainable.

Why now: Concerns are mounting that AI valuations form an investment bubble comparable to the dot-com crash.
