Investors expressed concerns about AI companies' over-promises and unclear profit models, causing stock prices to fall sharply. This incident triggered widespread market discussion on the future development direction of the AI industry. Some people believe that this is the beginning of the AI revolution, while others regard it as a warning that the AI market bubble bursts. This article will delve into the background, impact and future direction of this incident.
Recently, due to the lackluster results released by Google parent company Alphabet, the market value of AI-related companies has evaporated by US$190 billion on the stock market. Investors are wary of technology companies over-promising on AI and lacking a clear path to profitability, causing the stock prices of AI companies to take a hit. Some analysts believe that the decline in the stock market is the beginning of the AI revolution, but others are worried that this is a warning of excessive prosperity in the AI market.
The evaporation of the market value of AI companies caused by Alphabet's sluggish performance reflects investors' cautious attitude towards the development prospects of the AI industry, and also sounds a warning for the future development of the AI industry. We need to view the development of AI technology more rationally and avoid blind optimism and over-investment in order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the AI industry.
