Traders on prediction market Polymarket assign a mere 18% implied probability to the AI industry experiencing a severe downturn (a "bubble burst") by the end of 2026. This low probability reflects sustained confidence in current AI capital expenditures and industry fundamentals.
Meanwhile, the World Bank is urging developing nations to "rapidly adopt" AI, noting that the technology could help them achieve in a single decade what would otherwise take a century.
