As reported by CNBC, speaking at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week in an interview with CNBC\u2019s Tanya Bryer, Gates said that the investors should brace themselves for corrections as the fear of an AI bubble is intensifying day-by-day. Gates also highlighted that the hyper-competitive nature of AI means that only a fraction of companies will emerge as long-term winners. Gates said that \u201ca reasonable percentage of those companies won\u2019t be worth that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Gates on AI valuations<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI is the most important thing going on,\u201d Gates said, but stressed that inflated valuations do not guarantee success. \u201cDoes it mean all of these companies with high valuations will be winners? No, it\u2019s going to be hyper competitive,\u201d he explained. He added: \u201cAI is only a bubble in the sense that not all of these valuations will end up going up. Some of them will go down\u2026 A reasonable percentage of those companies won\u2019t be worth that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Gates No Longer among Top 10 Billionaires: The Real Reason<\/p>\n<p>Companies like Tesla, Palantir presently trade at price-to-earnings ratios above 200 compared with an S&amp;P 500 average of about 25. The disparity has fueled investor concerns, with global markets dipping in November amid fears of an AI bubble.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Gates emphasised that AI remains a transformative force<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI is a deeply profound technology that will reshape the world. There\u2019s not the slightest doubt about that,\u201d he said. He pointed to AI\u2019s potential in healthcare, education, and agriculture, areas where his foundation is actively investing.Despite all these concerns, Gates has reaffirmed his belief in the transformative potential of AI. He also described it as \u201ca deeply profound technology that will reshape the world,\u201d with applications across health, education, and agriculture.\u201cIs this profound and real and is going to provide all of these benefits? Absolutely, nobody should have any doubt about that,\u201d Gates said. As 2026 approaches, Gates\u2019 vision is clear: AI must be used not just to drive profits, but to deliver tangible benefits for humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has once again cautioned that many artificial intelligence companies with very-high valuations will not&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,194953,254,80991,255,64,63,194952,194951,105,194954],"class_list":["post-355822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-ai-company-valuations","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence-bubble","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bill-gates-ai-predictions","tag-microsoft-co-founder-bill-gates","tag-technology","tag-transformative-ai-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
