OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman has cautioned that the artificial intelligence market is showing signs of a bubble, comparing current investor enthusiasm to the dot-com era. He acknowledged that while AI is the most significant technological shift in decades, excessive speculation is inflating valuations across the sector. His remarks follow similar warnings from Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai, Bridgewater Associates’ Ray Dalio, and Apollo Global Management economist Torsten Slok, who recently argued that today’s AI bubble exceeds that of the 1990s internet boom.
Despite the concerns, confidence in OpenAI remains high. The company is preparing a $6 billion secondary share sale valuing it at $500 billion, after earlier securing a record-breaking $40 billion funding round.
