Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI, has made a bold prediction that AI will be the "biggest bubble of all time". During a call with UBS analysts, Mostaque referred to this as the "dot AI" bubble. He emphasized that it is still in its early stages, and not yet ready for widespread adoption.
Stability AI is the company behind Stable Diffusion, popular generative-AI tool that allows users to generate realistic images from text. Despite facing accusations of misleading claims about his background and achievements, Mostaque remains confident in the potential of generative AI.
Generative AI has captured the attention of academics, executives, and students for its ability to create human-like language and visuals using vast amounts of data. Companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are at the forefront. Popular tools include ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing Chat, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney.
Mostaque estimates that a staggering $1 trillion investment will be needed in AI, considering it a crucial infrastructure for knowledge. He believes that major banks like UBS will have to embrace this technology as it represents a massive market opportunity. However, he also acknowledges that AI is currently in its early development stages and not yet fully deployable at scale.
Notably, companies that fail to utilize AI effectively may face consequences in the stock market. Mostaque cited Google's loss of $100 billion in value after its Bard AI chatbot provided inaccurate information in a promotional video. He predicts AI to be a significant investment theme in the coming years, with market shifts towards companies effectively leveraging AI for business growth.
