Jim Covello, head of stock research at Goldman Sachs, raises concerns about the AI market, likening current trends to past economic bubbles. His recent research paper questions the potential return on an estimated $1 trillion in AI spending, highlighting the unreliability of generative AI in solving complex problems. This skepticism has contributed to a 7% decline in Goldman’s AI stock basket since July 10.
Covello's experience with tech booms and busts informs his cautious stance on AI investments. He argues that the high costs associated with AI services do not justify their benefits, as evidenced by a generative AI tool that saved time but was six times more expensive. The ongoing debate within Goldman Sachs reflects a broader uncertainty in the market about the true value of AI technologies.
