Investment magnet and CEO of the Morris Group, Joseph Grinkorn, has raised a thought-provoking question that echoes through global financial markets: Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) a buy or a bubble?

As the world rushes to embrace AI innovation, Grinkorn examines the unprecedented hypergrowth and soaring valuations that have begun to mirror the speculative frenzy of the early 2000s dot-com boom.

AI Valuations Surge at Record Pace

Over the past year, AI companies have reached valuations that seem to defy traditional market logic. Industry leaders such as OpenAI, now valued at $500 billion, and Elon Musk’s xAI, estimated at $200 billion, symbolize the extraordinary investor confidence in AI’s transformative potential. Major tech giants, including Musk, Jeff Bezos, and other corporate titans, have all accelerated their investments in AI, prompting investors of all scales to follow suit.

However, Grinkorn warns that such accelerated enthusiasm carries inherent risks. “When investors pile into the hype,” he explains, “it becomes difficult to differentiate which companies truly have a strong product and sustainable business model, and which are simply capitalizing on market excitement. That’s when you risk the aftermath of a bubble bursting.”

The Bubble Concern

Grinkorn draws a direct comparison to the dot-com bubble, where investors flooded emerging internet companies with capital despite limited real-world performance. “Some AI companies have raised billions of dollars with very little to show in return,” he notes. “It’s an incredible field, but from an investment standpoint, we’re still learning which companies will come out on top.”

AI’s Global Expansion

According to recent data, there are over 90,904 AI companies worldwide, signaling massive global participation in the industry. The United States leads with 29,618 AI companies, followed by India with 8,178, and the United Kingdom with 6,270.

Private AI investment between 2013 and 2024 has surpassed $750 billion, while global AI spending is projected to reach $1.5 trillion in 2025 and expand to $2 trillion by 2026. This surge is largely driven by AI’s integration across industries, from smartphones and PCs to software systems and IT infrastructure.

The United States Leads the AI Race

The United States remains at the forefront of AI innovation and investment. In 2025, the country allocated approximately $470.9 billion toward AI development, far outpacing other nations. China followed with $119.3 billion, and the United Kingdom invested $28.2 billion. Other major contributors included Canada, Israel, Germany, and India, each making substantial strides in various AI sectors.

Balanced Optimism for the Future

Despite cautionary remarks, Grinkorn remains fundamentally optimistic about AI’s long-term role in shaping the future. “AI is an amazing tool,” he asserts. “In the coming years, it will have a major impact on our day-to-day personal and business lives. There’s no question that AI is the future, but investors must remain cautious and patient. Don’t get pulled into an overcrowded trade.”

As the race for AI dominance intensifies, Grinkorn’s insights serve as a reminder that while innovation drives opportunity, discernment protects sustainability. The question he poses: Is AI a buy or a bubble? remains one every investor must answer carefully in this new era of technological transformation.
