The AI boom is starting to look a lot like every tech bubble before it big promises, bigger hype, and a looming correction. But when the dust settles, it won’t be all AI that disappears. The collapse will center on generic, one-size-fits-all systems that can’t adapt to real-world complexity. The survivors will be purpose-built AIs that are focused, data-driven tools designed to understand specific industries, processes, and challenges. In the next wave of digital transformation, specialization, not generalization, will define who lasts.
