Claim LD01-SL-C32 (v1.0)

Comparing scientists’ citation networks with market data for the dot-com era (1994–2001) and the AI era (2017–2024), Chelikavada and Bennett found that dot-com patterns “did not definitively predict the rise and fall of an AI bubble,” and that “the data seems to suggest two possibilities”: an unprecedented kind of bubble or no bubble.
