OREANDA-NEWS  There are risks of a financial bubble in the market of companies related to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), which has not yet burst due to the soft policy of the US Federal Reserve System (FRS), but the probability of collapse this year already exceeds 50%, according to the Roscongress report "AI Economics: Stock market hype, project payback and energy shortage", which was reviewed by RIA Novosti.

The authors cite criteria for financial bubbles in the market: overestimation of assets, excessive concentration of ownership of one type of asset, excessive capital investments and high leverage - a financial mechanism that allows increasing profits through the use of borrowed funds. "According to three of the four criteria, the AI sector is showing signs of a bubble," the report says.

Thus, the S&P 500 index, which reflects the change in the value of the 500 largest companies on the American stock exchange, has added about 7.5 trillion dollars in value since the beginning of 2024. Of these, an increase of $ 4.9 trillion was provided by 17 companies related to the development of AI.
