Abstract generation in progress

[Coin World] According to reports, as of August 10, the artificial intelligence industry has created dozens of new billionaires this year, quickly making AI prosperity the largest wealth creation boom in modern history. This year, massive financing for startups such as Anthropic, Safe Superintelligence, OpenAI, and Anysphere has created enormous paper wealth and pushed valuations to record levels. According to data from the data platform, there are currently 498 AI "unicorns"—private AI companies valued at over $1 billion—with a total value of $2.7 trillion. Of these, a full 100 were established after 2023. The company stated that there are currently over 1,300 AI startups valued at over $100 million. Coupled with the soaring stock prices of publicly traded AI-related companies like Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, and others, the infrastructure companies building data centers and computational capabilities, as well as the high salaries paid to AI engineers, the scale of personal wealth creation in AI makes the past two technology booms look like warm-ups. "Looking back over the past 100 years of data, we have never seen such scale and speed of wealth creation," said Andrew McAfee, a principal researcher at MIT. "This is unprecedented."

The data is quite inflated; the current stage poses a significant risk of an AI bubble.
