CrashGPT – Will A.I. trigger a 2008-style financial crisis?
Description
Artificial Intelligence is being touted as civilisational game-changer – and a miracle cure for Britain’s ailing economy. So far it’s all promise and no real achievement. But investors are still piling vast sums of money into a very few companies. Could that concentrated investment lay the world open to another financial crisis? Joshua Roberts, Capital Markets Correspondent for The Economist, talks to Seth Thévoz about the “apocalyptic bubble-bursting scenario.”
“We have never seen companies this highly since the DotCom boom,” he says. “And that was followed by a huge crash.”
