FOCUS ON : The maturity crisis that artificial intelligence is undergoing at the dawn of 2026, oscillating between a speculative bubble and a genuine technological revolution. Despite record investments reaching $202 billion, the sector is facing a 40% drop in valuations and a reevaluation of the return on investment of language models.
Experts highlight major structural challenges, notably an electricity consumption that is saturating global power grids and a glaring lack of pure reasoning capabilities in machines.
A shift toward pragmatism is taking place, now prioritizing data quality and operational efficiency over the mere race for raw computing power. As layoffs multiply, the industry is striving to turn its media hype into sustainable economic value.
Ultimately, AI is entering a phase of inevitable correction that will separate essential infrastructures from dead-end speculative projects."
