NYU Stern商学院教授Aswath Damodaran对比互联网泡沫与AI泡沫:互联网泡沫几乎无大规模资本支出,且主要由股权融资,崩盘时股东损失60%-90%,损失仅限于股东。而AI泡沫的资本支出规模为历史罕见(类比100年前的汽车行业),且大量由私人债务而非银行资金驱动。一旦市场修正,企业违约将蔓延至全社会,比股价暴跌更痛苦。他以2008年危机为例,警告放贷者过度放贷的连锁风险。
dot-com bubble vs. a possible AI bubble.
From the famous "Dean of Valuation", Professor Aswath Damodaran, of NYU Stern School of Business,
"And that's the real big difference between the dot-com boom and bust and the AI boom. We don't know whether there'll be a bust. History suggests there will be a bust.
The dot-com boom and bust had no huge capital expenditure in that cycle. In fact, there was very little traditional CapEx, or even R&D, driving it. People started apps. They basically started going on it.
This has been the biggest infrastructure run-up I think I've ever seen in business. You can go back and compare it to the automobile business 100 years ago. The amount of money that's being put into AI CapEx is immense, which means that when the correction comes, the pain will be more intense.
