How AI Became the New Dot-Com Bubble

How AI Became the New Dot-Com Bubble

In 2025, 64% of U.S. venture capital funding targeted AI startups, with companies like OpenAI valued at $300 billion despite no profits or public trading. Tech giants Google, Amazon, and Meta spent over $400 billion on AI in 2024.

However, 70% of funded AI startups remain unprofitable, raising concerns of a possible AI bubble similar to the dotcom era. AI investments and salaries have surged, but productivity gains and market valuations show volatility.

Regulatory challenges and public skepticism persist. With projected AI investments reaching $7 trillion by 2030, the sustainability of this boom remains uncertain, paralleling past tech bubbles.
