Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a topic of much debate in recent years, with many questioning whether it will drive explosive economic growth or if it is simply hype. In a recent video titled “Will AI drive explosive economic growth or is it just hype? | Counting the Cost,” nations and companies around the world are seen weighing up the costs and benefits of AI.
With almost one trillion dollars at stake, the tech industry is abuzz with discussions on the potential impact of AI on economic growth. Proponents of AI argue that the technology has the potential to revolutionize industries, increase productivity, and drive innovation. They believe that AI has the power to create new markets and job opportunities, ultimately leading to economic growth on a global scale.
However, skeptics of AI caution that the technology may not live up to its hype. They raise concerns about the ethical implications of AI, including job displacement and data privacy issues. Some critics also question whether the economic benefits of AI will be evenly distributed, or if they will only benefit a small group of companies and individuals.
As nations and companies continue to invest in AI research and development, the debate over its potential impact on economic growth will likely continue. Whether AI will drive explosive economic growth or if it is simply hype remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the world is watching closely to see how this technology will shape the future of our economy.

These days i can easly say that nVidia stocks are very overpriced… this is clearly a burst moment
Just a momentum hype
My observation: due to AI Hype created by the US (e.g. OpenAI), a lot of funding/investment from around the world has moved to the US. There are 2 possibilities:
1). The current AI (LLM and the likes) are actually a hype. Investors around the world will lose money, but such money has been spent on US talents (thus, tax money for the US government) as well as US companies (e.g. NVIDIA, Cloud Service). ➔ Even a Hype, US citizens, US government benefit from such anyway.
2). The current AI manages to break through AGI (general intel). Investors of course will get a lot of ROI (return on investment). US Citizens and US companies profit from trend. US Governmant will now have "export control" on the tech.
We see in either case: US citizens and US companies and US government profit from it (REGARDLESS of AI success or not). The investors around the world, e.g. Middle East rich investors, will lose money in case 1.
Question: how is this "fair"?
Good ❤
Its too early to decide
AI will displace jobs so it is not good for developing countries which have the the problem of unemployment.
AI is good for customer servis as long as they don't teach it to tell a lie😂
Let humans think .. good for future generations …
AI venture cap = FOMO
