Analysis:AI Although debate over the bubble continues to intensify, Wall Street short sellers remain unwilling to place major bets
PANews September 26 reported, citing The Information, that Steve Eisman, a hedge fund manager and short seller who rose to fame after betting against the 2008 financial crisis, has in recent years become one of Wall Street's leading critics of the AI market boom and has maintained a cautious stance toward the valuations and investment frenzy driven by AI. However, Eisman is still unwilling to aggressively short AI-related assets on that basis. He said: “I’m not ready to make a major short call here.” The report said that although some Wall Street investors have begun questioning whether the AI boom can support current high valuations, Eisman does not yet believe shorting AI has become a sufficiently clear investment opportunity.

Short selling is a bet that an asset's price will fall. The key point here is that questioning AI valuations does not mean that a decision to short has already been made.
