AI Bubble: Risks and Responsibilities for Taxpayers
As the AI industry skyrockets, concerns grow about its sustainability and the potential fallout for taxpayers.
- Interconnected Value: AI firms are now worth over £2 trillion, significantly more than major banks during the 2008 crisis.
- Public Sector Involvement: Governments, like the UK, are heavily investing in AI for vital services—education, healthcare, and defense.
- Potential Pitfalls: Current trends indicate that 95% of AI projects fail, raising questions about their integration into everyday life.
The increasing reliance on AI mirrors the banking system’s importance, leading to fears that taxpayers may bear the costs if the bubble bursts. With no safeguards in place, the stakes are high, and it’s essential for us to consider the implications of AI on our future.
