Warnings in the Artificial Intelligence Sector Increase Scrutiny on the Stock Market

Recent warnings from executives of leading artificial intelligence companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI have triggered a new auditing process in the U.S. economy and stock market.

Current Status of the Stock Market and Indices

Despite this year's Iran war, rising inflation, and new tariffs, the U.S. stock market has generally managed to maintain its upward trend.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained about 8 percent, the S&P 500 11 percent, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq index 13 percent.

Performance of Artificial Intelligence and Chip Markets

AI-driven investments provided strong corporate earnings with high capital flowing into data centers and advanced chip projects.

Chip giant Nvidia's shares saw a significant increase of 18 percent, while its rival Advanced Micro Devices rose by 155 percent.

Economic Contribution and Businesses' Adoption Challenges

According to a study published by ING Markets, AI investments accounted for roughly one-third of U.S. gross domestic product growth in 2026.

Conversely, an MIT research revealed that about 95 percent of businesses investing in AI failed to profit from this technology.

Warnings from Leaders and Potential Regulations

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and xAI head Elon Musk made statements drawing attention to the potential risks and dangers of artificial intelligence.

While some critics in Congress brought up measures such as kill switches or auditing standards, rising interest rates are also increasing corporate borrowing costs.
