OpenAI CEO joins chorus of industry experts warning about "AI bubble"
Tech giants have made clear that they'll spare no expense in their efforts to win out in the AI rat race. So much so, that tech giants like Meta () , Microsoft () , Amazon () , and Google () planned to spend up to $320 billion on AI tech in 2025. So when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who augured the great LLM-ification of AI and became a major investor in ChatGPT creator OpenAI in 2019, warned about "overbuild" of data centers after being part of the cohort signaling their spending ambitions, some analysts and industry experts seemed to perk up. Even more so when Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai echoed Nadella's concerns, calling the buildout in AI datacenters a "bubble." Microsoft, meanwhile, went on to deny additional capacity from hyperscaler CoreWeave () , which was in the process of IPOing (that capacity was bought by OpenAI instead.) Only, nobody really cared. On Wall Street, valuations in AI-fueled trades were taking off. The only real segway was April's tariff tiff. Then, it was back to all-time highs for U.S. equities. The attitude was: "don't fight the tape." In some techno-optimist circles, the advent of superintelligent AI was seen just around the corner. Their attitude: "Why sell now?" Investors might be more wary now, thanks to a recent MIT study warning that businesses are not seeing returns from AI investments. And making matters worse, more industry experts are warning that investors got ahead of themselves. MIT drops AI spending bombshell MIT researchers studied 300 businesses and how they were using AI and found that, despite claims that the businesses had invested $30 to $40 billion into generative AI, only 5% of companies had seen any return thus far. Where industry anecdotes fell on deaf ears, the MIT study cut through the noise. Immediately after the report dropped, so too did tech stocks. And dogpiling on, even more industry leaders are joining the chorus, explicitly calling out what they see as an AI bubble. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns of bubble Among them are OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who said in plain terms that, "investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." While emphasizing its long-term important, Altman cautioned that investors could get "burnt" by the 'dot com-like' dynamic in the market. Unfortunately, it won't just be the people betting on high-flying names like Palantir () . Many Americans' 401(K)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts are tied up in indexes which are heavily exposed to the AI trade. In fact, these tech giants represent over a third of the S&P 500's weight. Altman remains an optimist over the long run, casting issues with his firm's latest frontier AI model as a "misfire" and promising an even more fantastic sequel in GPT-6. But that's what many AI optimists were hoping for GPT-5. And waiting even longer for "the future" to arrive might mean expending their optimism. That's not to say that AI models (including at competitors) are not progressing, but what investors' willingness to allow firms to become capital intensive businesses might not last much longer if they don't see light at the end of the tunnel. While they've learned to love the stratospheric growth coming from AI chipmaker Nvidia () and the double-digit strides in cloud services from Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, wariness about payoff might prompt a pullback. Mark's spend-a-thon comes to a close There's some evidence that it's already come — or maybe, somehow, AI is already replacing jobs — at Meta. CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent big to acquire AI talent and build out data centers. He's now almost fresh out of cash and looking to private credit to shore up his ambitions. Still, if you're confident there's a payoff, why pullback? Per WSJ, Meta is in the process of reorganizing its AI segment into different businesses prioritizing business endpoints. With it, exec departures, layoffs, and a hiring freeze. Is this a sign that Zuckerberg and management have looked around and collectively discovered that they're buying the top? Is this an unfortunate repeat of the company's failed metaverse ambitions? Or is this a wake-up call from within after squandering billions on comp packages for researchers and data centers? Too early to say, but after blowing through $31.8 billion in the last six months, you'd have to wonder if maybe, the industry gurus called it how it was. Now that Wall Street finally seems to be paying attention, what does that bode for the market?

Investing in early-in-career talent is vital to win the AI race
advertisement AI is fundamentally changing how we work. People will increasingly oversee more AI agents, changing the way we think about teams. Business leaders must shape what's next—not shrink from it. From job elimination to job evolution EIC employees are AI natives who are already leading the transformation. They intuitively engage with tech, bring creative agility, and have the curiosity needed to thrive in fast-changing environments. According to the World Economic Forum, job loss between 2025 and 2030 will be more than offset by new roles, leading to a net gain of 78 million jobs. As some roles and tasks phase out, new ones emerge that require skills like AI and data fluency, creative thinking, resilience, and curiosity. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter. Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Privacy Policy | Fast Company Newsletters If we don't protect and modernize the EIC pipeline, we risk widening the skill gaps and stalling the impact and ROI of AI solutions. EIC talent will be tomorrow's leaders, so we need to build pathways for them today. The demographic and leadership imperatives The talent pipeline is narrowing just as the pace of transformation is accelerating. U.S. birth rates are declining. Fewer 18-year-olds are entering the workforce. Higher education costs are skyrocketing, and many high school graduates are choosing two-year and technical degrees or trade jobs. That makes every EIC hire even more valuable. HR leaders help define the structure of the workforce and manage payroll—the largest line on the profit and loss statement—so where we invest matters. EIC roles are often the smartest entry point for workforce planning. We need to build AI-first cultures rooted in continuous learning, with roles that fuel business and personal growth. That means doubling down on equipping early-career talent with the skills, creativity, and adaptability to lead AI-powered organizations. And our succession pipelines must prioritize leadership capabilities like AI fluency, orchestration, and human-centered change management. That means focusing on these key steps: Reimagine strategic workforce planning As leaders, we must identify the skills AI won't replace and the skills that matter most to our businesses—from programming and UX design to collaboration, creative problem solving, and empathy. Then we should map those skills to evolving roles. For example, if AI handles research, an entry-level role could evolve into a prompt engineer or curator. Other future roles could include AI safety and ethics coordinators and AI agent trainers for front line workers. Design new rotations and exposure Companies that invest in internships build future-ready talent pipelines. Internships today are table stakes. To stand out, we need to build rotational programs, apprenticeships, and real-world experiences that give EIC hires exposure across the business. Reverse mentoring, for example, could give EIC talent a chance to connect directly with senior leaders, while giving those leaders a window into AI-native thinking. The goal is to retain top talent by creating a culture of growth, mobility, and connection. With clear goals, meaningful work, strong managers, and real learning experiences, EIC talent has the chance to thrive and drive innovation. At ServiceNow, 95.6% of our interns accepted our full-time offers in 2024, proof of meaningful investment. Embrace AI-first learning for growth and retention Retaining top talent, especially early-in-career talent, starts with listening followed by meaningful action. Sixty-five percent of EIC workers say they'd stay at least four years at a company if it offered robust development opportunities. We need to show EIC talent how they can grow, and design learning that matches their curiosity. EIC employees expect learning to be personalized, bite-sized, and built into the workflow. That's why we launched ServiceNow University—to train our employees and the broader technology ecosystem. It's working: EIC hires at ServiceNow have a 7% lower attrition rate in their first two years than their peers. The long game: Invest in young talent and AI Leaders don't need to decide between cutting costs and investing in the future. They can do both when they focus on transforming the workforce. Organizations that lead with intention—those that rethink roles, invest in AI enablement, and reimagine EIC talent—will attract the best minds and shape the next era of innovation. We all have a lot to learn in this new world, and we should evolve our strategies as we go. But EIC employees are essential. Their fluency with technology, drive to learn, and creative edge are exactly what we need to build the future. We can't afford to sideline them. Committing to EIC talent will require a lot of hard work and vision, but with the right strategy, it is possible. Jacqui Canney is chief people and AI enablement officer at ServiceNow.
