NASHVILLE, USA: Companies have blindly invested in artificial intelligence before establishing their actual needs, which has led to millions of dollars being “wasted,” a leading expert has told Arab News.

A recent survey revealed that sentiment in AI technology had dropped in the Middle East as companies began to realize they had onboarded the technology without first establishing its role within their organizations.

But in projects such as the design of Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup stadiums, the technology was being put to good use, including how to give the perfect view from every seat. This is something many football clubs around the globe will admit has not been previously achieved.

Depending on who you listen to, the AI bubble is either about to burst or diversify.

Journalist Will Lockett wrote in Medium.com on Sept. 15 that the “AI bubble is ripe for bursting,” adding that the “AI models we have now are about as good as they will ever be.”
