"Do you think we're in an AI Bubble? Even the experts who've predicted past crashes can't seem to agree. "Dr. Doom" Nouriel Roubini—who predicted the mid-2000s housing crash that Wall Street dismissed—and isn't convinced we're heading for catastrophe. Yet, the analyst who called the dotcom bubble has warned it will all "end in tears." And then there's the "Big Short" investor Michael Burry, who is going as far as betting $1 billion on the AI bubble bursting."
""Right now I must tell you, I'm always asking candidates if they think we're in an AI bubble or not," McCann revealed at the Fortune CEO Forum in The Shard. "We'll see how long that question lasts." There's no right or wrong answer, but actually knowing where you stand could give you an edge and pique the exec's interest. McCann doesn't care which side you pick—he cares whether you've thought it through."
Prominent economists and investors disagree on whether current AI enthusiasm constitutes a financial bubble. Nouriel Roubini remains unconvinced that AI will trigger catastrophe, while the dotcom-bubble predictor warns of eventual failure and Michael Burry has placed a $1 billion bet against the sector. Employers are using candidates' stances on the AI bubble as interview curveballs to assess critical thinking and judgment. Dave McCann of IBM asks the question to evaluate how well candidates have considered the issue rather than to demand a specific answer. Other unusual interview tests probe values and behavior under pressure.
