Is AI a bubble?

The rapid growth and high valuations of AI companies like Anthropic lead some to question if we're in an 'AI bubble'. A bubble occurs when asset prices rise quickly, driven by speculation rather than intrinsic value, and then burst. While AI has huge potential, investors are scrutinising whether current valuations are sustainable.
