Is there an AI bubble and what happens if it bursts? | Penn Today
3 weeks ago - As an example, he notes how the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s was painful for investors but relatively contained for the general public. “It was mostly a story about private capital chasing internet startups,” he says. “When it burst, households didn’t lose their homes, and the banking system stayed intact.” But, by contrast, the housing bubble of the 2000s had far-reaching consequences.

2 days ago - The AI industry and the world at large would probably benefit from a small, slow leak in the bubble. Will this bubble burst? It seems inevitable to us that it will, and probably soon. It won’t take much for it to happen: a bad quarter for an important vendor, a Chinese AI model that’s much cheaper and just as effective as U.S.
Everyone's wondering if, and when, the AI bubble will pop. Here's what went down 25 years ago that ultimately burst the dot-com boom | Fortune
The fucking irony of this disclaimer at the bottom of the article, considering its topic: For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing. More on reddit.com
What will happen when the AI bubble will burst? Who will lose the money?
The problem with the AI bubble is not the AI bubble. It is very concentrated and while it will affect some big companies, it is not that big. The big problem is that the economy has been in a recession for months - except that the AI bubble makes the numbers look like we are not. Basically everything is in a recession except the stocks that are part of the AI bubble. So when the AI bubble bursts we will see the full impact of the recession. And this is bad because the government policies have been carrying on as if we are not in a recession and making things worse. More on reddit.com
If AI is a bubble, and the bubble bursts within the next year or two, what negative/positive effects would we likely run into?
Not too long ago we had a dot com bubble, and even though it burst we still have the Internet. People are (most likely) wildly overhyping AI, but the technology still has value, the ability to change a whole lot of things, and lots of room to grow. The inevitable crash of the investment bubble won't disappear AI, it will just separate the winners from the losers in the industry. More on reddit.com
Everybody talks about the AI bubble going to burst, but how? And what are the implications for the small investor?
As a retail investor who is not trading daily, this situation is extremely difficult and hard to predict when also just having a regular 9 to 5 job The question to ask is - is it something you even need to worry about? Markets have major downturns for all sorts of reasons. If not an "AI bubble" it can be whatever. Accept that as reality, acknowledge your time horizon, and invest accordingly. If you build a strong ship you don't need to worry about when the next wave will be. More on reddit.com

How Catastrophic Is It If the AI Bubble Bursts? An FAQ. - The Ringer
November 4, 2025 - Many have scrambled to incorporate AI into their operations, drawn by the promise of a technology that would cut labor costs and revolutionize productivity. Yet according to an MIT study released in August, 95 percent of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it. It's not clear that the AI bubble bursting would have a devastating effect on them either, at least directly.

3 weeks ago - Even though the job of Central Banks is not to control asset prices, they may need to consider raising interest rates to deflate the bubble before it gets too large. The more sudden the crash, the deeper and costlier any ensuing recession will be. ... The burst of the AI-bubble would be ugly if it shares more features than we imagine with the 2000s housing bubble.

What happens when the AI bubble bursts? - by James Ball
October 16, 2025 - OpenAI’s Sam Altman has reportedly referred to an AI bubble, likening it to the dotcom boom, and agreeing investors are “overexcited about AI.” The Bank of England has warned of the potential for a “sudden correction” in the market — the nearest the august institution will come to using a word like ‘crash’ — “particularly for technology companies focused on artificial intelligence.” Others are spooked by what looks like circular investment and spending between Nvidia and some of its biggest customers.

Everyone's wondering if, and when, the AI bubble will pop. Here's what went down 25 years ago that ultimately burst the dot-com boom | Fortune : r/technology
September 28, 2025 - To think some kind of burst will get rid of AI is completely naive. If we're comparing to the dotcom bubble, the world remained forever changed even after 1999. All the trend chasing companies that shoehorned websites into their business model burned away, but companies that had real value remained, and their valuations recovered over time. Likely the same thing will happen to AI, the fundamental technology is here to stay.

I've heard it's something bigger than dotcom or 2008. But who will lose that money? I have nothing invested in it or any debt, how could it affect common people like me?

The American tax payers. Because these big corporations that are pouring billions into AI will be bailed out with our tax dollars. Then the govt will say they have no money to give us things we actually need.

How much of society already depends on AI? If it goes away in some fashion, what's going to happen?

The problem here isn’t that society depends on AI. In fact, even once the bubble bursts, the technology behind AI isn’t going to just disappear, so the limited areas where AI provides a meaningful benefit will most likely continue to use it. The real problem is that AI isn’t nearly as useful as people, particularly investors, seem to think it is, and the stock market is trying to force AI into everywhere it can possibly fit, and then some. When the bubble bursts, it’s hard to say what will happen exactly but it definitely won’t look good for the economy, not because AI was important but because the stock market invested massive amounts of money into it believing it was. Personally, I’m just eager for this bubble to pop as soon as possible, because economically speaking it’s gonna hurt sooner or later anyway, but individually I’m so tired of it getting shoved down my throat at all times.
