Will governments bail out AI firms when the bubble bursts?

Original: Will the government bail out AI companies with your tax money when the bubble bursts? # askfedi # question # poll # llm

A question is circulating online asking whether governments will rescue AI companies with public money if the current AI investment bubble collapses. The question touches on fears that massive spending on chatbots and large language models could end in a financial crash, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill, echoing comparisons to past bank bailouts.

Why now: Growing concern that soaring AI valuations form a bubble whose failure could trigger a taxpayer-funded bailout.
