Do you think the bursting of the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s could happen again, only this time in the AI sector?

In many ways, the current situation seems similar to the period around 2000 to me.

The enthusiasm surrounding AI is enormous, the valuations of technology companies have risen significantly, and huge amounts of money are being poured into AI infrastructure. Of course, AI itself is a real technology and is already being used in many areas. But does the real economic value of AI actually justify these enormous investments?

The ECB has also recently warned that valuations in the US stock market are once again approaching levels seen during the dot-com bubble.

Do you think we could really see a repeat of the 2000 crash?
