AI Bubble Debate 2026: 40 Tech Leaders Scrutinize the Surge
Is the AI boom a bubble? PRISM analyzes responses from 40 tech leaders, including Jensen Huang and Michael Burry, on the future of the AI market in 2026.
Billions of dollars are fueling the AI engine, but is it heading for a cliff? According to a recent CNBC compilation of responses from 40 tech leaders and analysts, the industry is deeply divided over whether the current surge is a sustainable boom or a bubble waiting to burst.
The Clash of Perspectives: Jensen Huang vs. Michael Burry
The optimism is anchored by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who dismissed fears of an AI bust during a recent earnings call. However, skeptic voices are growing louder. Michael Burry, the investor famous for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, recently drew striking parallels between today's AI euphoria and the dot-com mania of the late 1990s.
Sam Altman's Admission of Overexcitement
