The AI Bubble's Size is a More Relevant Measure than Its Comparison to Past Bubbles The current hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) has drawn inevitable comparisons to past technological bubbles, such as the dot com bubble or the internet bubble of the 1990s and early 2000s.
However, the size of the AI bubble is a more relevant measure than its comparison to these earlier examples. The distinct features of the current AI bubble set it apart from past technological bubbles.
The scope and ambition of AI research have expanded exponentially in recent years, encompassing not only machine learning and deep learning but also natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and more.
