AI Hype Swells to Unprecedented Levels, Surpassing Bitcoin Search Volume
The hype around artificial intelligence (AI) has reached unprecedented levels, with Google Trends data showing that AI-related searches continue to rise globally.
In fact, AI surpassed Bitcoin's search volume by a significant margin in 2021, and even Trump's presidential campaigns couldn't match this level of interest.
A closer look at regional trends reveals a mix of results: while financial topics dominate in the US, AI is more popular in most parts of Europe. Turkey stands out as an exception, where Bitcoin searches are higher due to concerns about inflation.
The AI hype has extended to the tech industry, with Nvidia being one of the world's largest companies by market capitalization (around $5 trillion). The company recently announced a $100 billion guarantee for an OpenAI-related data center project.
