When people talk about the “AI bubble”, it is easy to assume they mean AI is just a passing trend.
But that is not really the point.
AI is not going to disappear.
The bigger question is what happens to all the companies, tools and platforms currently being built around AI.
At the moment, there are lots of businesses doing lots of different things. Many of them overlap. Many are trying to solve similar problems.
Over time, that market will probably consolidate.
Some companies will disappear, some will be bought, and some will become part of bigger platforms.
So rather than thinking “AI will vanish”, it may be better to think:
AI is here to stay, but the number of companies offering AI tools may reduce.
Fewer companies. More powerful platforms. Bigger players doing more.
