As AI continues to balloon and pull in even more investment, one of the fiercest debates (other than copyright<\/a>, ethics<\/a>, and the environment<\/a>) is about whether or not it’s a bubble. AMD’s Lisa Su has weighed in on the debate.<\/p>\n

Recently, in an interview with Wired<\/a>, the AMD chief was asked if she thought AI was a bubble. Her response: \u201cemphatically, from my perspective, no.\u201d Su claims that fears around a potential bubble are “somewhat overstated”. Unfortunately, as this is part of the Wired Big Interview series, and the larger interview hasn’t been published yet, it’s hard to fully surmise where Su’s stance lies outside of this answer.<\/p>\n

In its barest form, a bubble is where the asset price in some industry far exceeds actual value, due in part to speculation. The 2008 financial crisis and the dot-com bubble popping didn’t mean people wouldn’t buy houses or use the internet, but that the value tied up in it exceeded what it was worth, and those betting billions on it could no longer see a return on investment.<\/p>\n

Investment is certainly there when it comes to AI. Nvidia is the first company to have been valued at $5 trillion<\/a>. Nvidia, in turn, invested $100 billion into OpenAI back in September<\/a>. In October, AMD signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI<\/a>, so there’s some justification for wishful thinking here. Talking to Wired, Su says, \u201cWhen I look at the landscape, what keeps me up at night is \u2018How do we move faster when it comes to innovation?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Thoughts seem divided on whether or not there’s an AI bubble, so here’s a non-exhaustive list of those who have weighed in on the topic:<\/p>\n
