Artificial intelligence has attracted trillions of dollars in investment, with its backers promising everything from medical breakthroughs to economic transformation. But journalist, author and AI critic Ed Zitron says the industry’s foundations are far shakier than many believe. In this interview, he questions both the capabilities of today’s AI models and the business models of leading firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic — citing massive losses, heavy spending and obscure growth metrics. Zitron warns that, if investor expectations prove unrealistic, the result could be a market reckoning with consequences far beyond Silicon Valley.
