MIT Paper Warns AI Investment May Be a Speculative Bubble

The study warns that if AI fails to deliver transformative economic growth, a correction could be severe. It calls for more rigorous measurement of AI's real-world impact.

The paper adds academic weight to bubble fears, but its conclusions hinge on assumptions about AI's long-term productivity potential that remain unproven either way.
