The AI Bubble

I spoke with FvgTech about the possible AI bubble

I was a guest of FvgTech for a conversation on a question that is becoming more and more frequent: is Artificial Intelligence a bubble?

The answer, at least for me, is not a simple yes or no. There are certainly inflated expectations around AI, valuations that are hard to sustain, demos built to impress, and a growing number of products that add a chat to an already confusing process, hoping that it will be enough to call it innovation.

But a financial or narrative bubble does not necessarily mean that the underlying technology is inconsistent.

Even the Internet went through a season of almost feverish enthusiasm, irrational investments, and outlandish promises. Many companies disappeared. However, the network remained and changed everything.

I believe something similar could happen for AI.

I don’t think it is an oracle, a digital consciousness, or a ready-to-buy business strategy. It is a powerful technology, still imperfect, capable of accelerating work, making complex skills more accessible, and reducing some repetitive tasks.

At the same time, it can produce an enormous amount of imaginary automation: spectacular systems in presentations, but fragile, useless, or even harmful when they encounter real processes.

The question that interests me is not just whether the bubble will burst.

I am interested in understanding what will remain after the noise.

There will probably be new tools, new infrastructures, new habits, and a different relationship between people and software. Above all, there will be applications built from real problems, not from the need to insert AI everywhere like parsley in dishes from the 1980s.

This is what I discussed with Gabriele in the episode of FvgTech.
