An internal draft report from the U.S. Treasury Department warns that the rapid expansion of the artificial intelligence market mirrors key characteristics of the dot-com bubble, posing a potential threat to the broader economy.
According to the document, career analysts found that AI firms are more deeply integrated into the financial system than their predecessors from the early 2000s. While the report notes that current AI companies are generally more mature and profitable, it cautions that the economic ecosystem could face significant systemic shocks if the industry fails to meet high productivity expectations or encounters infrastructure bottlenecks.
