Call it an artificial intelligence boom, artificial intelligence frenzy, or artificial intelligence revolution – one thing appears to be certain these days – it shows no sign of slowing down.
Contrary to the skepticism last year and belief by some analysts that the "AI bubble" is there and that it might burst just any time, all developments in recent months reveal that this is not the case, at least for now.
Spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure, pledges, and plans continues at full speed, and it is even visible that this is spreading beyond the U.S. to Asia and Europe. The recent rally in tech shares in countries such as South Korea and Japan is just proof of this.
Alongside, leading U.S. startups are proceeding with their plans to go public this year, while old players like Alphabet's Google are also looking for ways to double down on AI spending.
On Monday, although speculated and widely expected, Claude-maker Anthropic surprised by confirming it confidentially applied to the regulator for an initial public offering (IPO), doing so before its long-term rival OpenAI.
