The AI boom is currently supporting the US economy, with significant investment in data centers and AI startups, raising concerns about a potential bubble due to unorthodox financial arrangements and speculative behavior. While the sector shows genuine revenue growth, risks remain if technological progress stalls or if financial practices become unsustainable, though the overall outlook is not definitively a bubble.
Wall Street's major investment firms, led by Blackstone, are heavily investing in AI data centers, fueling a potential bubble amid concerns of overbuilding and shifting technological innovations, but demand from tech giants like Google and Meta continues to drive expansion.
Ruchir Sharma, chair of Rockefeller International, warns of a massive bubble in U.S. financial markets, driven by unprecedented global investment in American assets. U.S. companies now dominate 70% of the leading global stock index, despite the U.S. economy comprising only 27% of global GDP. This concentration of investment is drawing capital away from other markets, potentially destabilizing them. Sharma's concerns are echoed by other experts, who note the risks of a "mother of all bubbles" in U.S. markets, exacerbated by foreign capital inflows and market sentiment.
