La burbuja de la IA generativa: “a feature not a bug”
Abstract
Este artículo se pregunta si hay una burbuja especulativa de inteligencia artificial generativa. Responde que sí, pero que esto es una simplificación que de poco nos sirve para tomar decisiones. Las burbujas son parte inevitable y necesaria de toda revolución tecnológica, tras su estallido se da paso a los nuevos modelos que se generan. Además, en entornos de innovación es natural que solo pocos sean exitosos. Ya antes se vio un fenómeno similar en la burbuja puntocom, pero ahora las burbujas pueden ser más rápidas, simultáneas o extendidas. En consecuencia, invertir mejor en IAimplica tener una mirada del ecosistema digital y organizaciones ambidiestras, capaces de asumir riesgos de manera equilibrada para innovar exitosamente.
