"AI Hype Wave: Companies Surf for Share Price Surge"
Artificial Intelligence's current hype wave is causing a splurge in a unique phenomenon - AI washing. Companies across sectors are overstating their use of AI to create a glowing halo effect around their operations, ultimately pumping their stock prices higher. Some have seen a surge of over 500% since 2023's start!
Catchy claims wrapped in AI lingo have become a new trend among businesses willing to ride the wave - whether they're related to AI or not. For instance, a startling 75% rise in UK companies touting their use of AI has been witnessed in the past year. Big names like BP and Marks and Spencer highlight this trend even if their core business has minimal to do with AI.
The problem, however, is when AI claims become merely a promotional façade with little substantial backing. Regulators are catching up too. Last year, the US Securities and Exchange Commission took its first action against AI washing. Not admitting or denying misleading claims about their AI usage, Delphia and Global Predictions ended up paying hefty fines.
The dangers of AI washing aren't just for regulators countering false claims; it also risks misleading investors. Exaggerated AI usage in companies could create unrealistic expectations leading to skewed investment choices.
Nevertheless, in this AI-driven era, the question surfaces - are you conducting due diligence to ensure you’re investing in genuinely AI-enabled companies?
