The hashtag #AICrashOrComeback raises a fundamental question about the future of AI: Will it collapse due to regulations, ethical challenges, and lack of innovation? Or is it on the cusp of a quantum leap that will strengthen its dominance across various industries?

With rapid progress, startups and traditional workers are at risk of being eclipsed by advanced AI. However, increasing regulation could slow growth, potentially leading to an “AI bubble” that collapses, as happened with the dot-com boom in the early 2000s. In contrast, increasing investments in quantum computing and the development of more efficient models could pave the way for a new revolution.

So, are we facing a temporary bubble or a new golden age for AI?
